Contradictions do not equate to "aha" moments which disprove a point. For example, Judas could've hung himself out on a limb. By the time someone agreed to cut him down maybe he dropped to the ground and burst. We don't know for certain but that seems to me a reasonable explanation. People see things differently.

[@chrisp9500]

J. Warner Wallace, a former detective and current Christian apologist, argues along these lines as well.

[@billbuyers8683]

Assuming contradictory information, is not proof that the information is incorrect. It only demonstrates that the person does not understand it and needs to follow that misunderstanding up with better investigation of the facts.

Contradictions prove that people may err in their accounts. That's the reason why apologists,, especially those who believe in Sola Scriptura, try to prove that there is absolutely no contradiction anywhere in the Bible.

[@blackeyedturtle]

I personally believe "Acts 6:2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables." is evidence that the Apostles & Elders in the community, were focused on composing a record of the events of the life, message and death of their Messiah. The manner in which the Gospels, compliment and share such similar testimony of specific events, would only make sense if they were all composed within a few years of the actual events. The Gospels, like the Tanakh, are not the mere product of man's mind.

"I can narrow down the appearance to James within a few weeks." I find it funny that the few weeks are after Jesus died and before Jesus left. Yeah, that's gonna be true of all the appearances, except to Paul

[@isaiah5399]

Please help me out here with the question of who (i.e. which Godhead) raised Jesus from the dead. @13:38 you said that it was God the Father but in John 2:19 Jesus said “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” so clearly Jesus raised Himself! I think this is important as it proved Jesus' existence before His incarnation and that He is God. Am I right?

[@kymdickman8910]

Yes! Also, Jesus said [John 10:17-18] “For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it up again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.” (Jesus, God incarnate, speaking here.) A crucifixion is the only form of state run execution which enabled the victim to decide the moment of death. It occurred when He gave up breathing.

[@MastaE2288]

No, Jesus did not raise himself. But that is great news because the one who did raise him from the dead lives in believers! Romans 8:11 KJV [11] But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Jeshua is a shortcut (Neh 8:17). Yeshua is identical in Hebrew with salvation. Moses changed the name of Hosea into Jehoshua (Yeshua), why? In Isa 62:11 the word salvation becomes personal, thy reward is with thee and thy work is before thee. Yeshua is the Only Savior in the NEW COVENANT (Jer 31:31), He will save Israel at His 2nd coming in the future. Israel's geula is dependent on the Messiah Yeshua (Dan 9:24-29). No other Messiah is coming. He died for His people (Isa53), and comes for His people again (Zech 12:10).

[@benny-yj7pq]

He is risen at the end of the Sabbath, the angel said He is not here (Mat 28:1-6) . So when He is risen? On Sabbath 3pm after 72 hours (after 3 days), He was no longer in the midst of the earth. His body were risen on the 3. day, less than 72 hours. The bible is correct and specific. The good Friday is a MYTH from the RCC, who changed the WORD. It was the Sabbath, the women visit the tomb, they ran away and told nobody, what happened (Mark 16:8). It is the end of the Sabbath, not after the Sabbath, the beginning of the new day, It is according to the Jewish calendar. The word "after" in the Greek means "at the end of".

[@tonyr6365]

Jesus prophesied that He would die and on the third day He would be raised.

[@briansnow8980]

I would agree with him other than his minimalistic approach. If one doesn’t believe in the validity of Scripture, its inerrancy, then one won’t believe in Christ and the resurrection. The liberals believe in some of the accounts, but still are lost as the devil. A reductionist argument, although done with good intention, will still leave people with false belief and make them nomalistic at best. If they can’t believe that God is who he says he is, that he has revealed himself and his Law in natural and special revelation, then people will fall apart when it comes to sin and their need for salvation in Christ. They will be left with the what instead of the why and how of the gospel.

[@valerieprice1745]

Peter was quoting the prophecy about the blood monet being used to purchase the field. The Judas didn't purchase the field. Judas dropped the coins on the ground. "Now, this man... (the one who purchased the field) fell and his bowels burst on the rocks." The Temple priests sent their servant off after dark to lurches the field. On his return, he likely misjudged the road and fell off one of the many precipitous cliffs in Jerusalem. That place is a falling hazard, literally at every turn. That's the way I always understood it, but Israel My Channel took his life in his hands to visit Judas' tomb, and it's a harrowing trek on a narrow ledge of a sheer rock wall on one side, and a terrible drop down the cliff onto rocks below. I wonder if they dropped the body, or fell with it themselves, and perhaps the dead man's bowels burst, which would not be at all surprising. Either way, the trouble is our not knowing. It's not a contradiction, it's a lack of further explanation.

*WHY CREATIONISM SHOULD NOT BE TAUGHT IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL* We are all too familiar with the calls for teaching of alternatives to evolution by religion, especially fundamentalists and creationists. While on the surface, this may be a somewhat reasonable demand, but is it really? If the alternative includes a god, the bible or a particular religion (say Christianity) we would be in immediate violation of the Establishment clause of the U.S. Constitution. Putting the legal issue aside for a moment, the practical problem that arises is: “which god, which religion, which creation story?” Should we discriminate against all gods, religions and creation stories, in favor of a single accepted god, religion and creation story? There is simply not enough time to teach them all, but that is not what Christian creationists want; do they? They want their god, their religion and their creation story to be the only alternative to evolution. This is an extremely dishonest and discriminatory proposition. But other than legal and practical issues, the major problem is the following: In order to consider teaching a creationist alternative, we have to accept that creationism stands on an equal footing with evolution science. Creationism would need the support of evidence in order to be an alternative to evolution, which is backed by mountains of evidence. But creationism is not backed by any scientific evidence, it is a belief system. As such should we be comparing a science based explanation with a belief system? If you are thinking logically, does this make any sense? No it does not. What about “academic freedom”, the latest canard from creationists? Just another deceptive wording to hide the true intentions of creationists. When a teacher signs on as a teacher in the tax payer funded school system, he/she must follow the predefined school curriculum and text. There is no “academic freedom” in the classroom where a teacher is allowed to introduce his/her own interpretation of the subject matter and include his/her prejudices. If the so called “academic freedom” was allowed, than what would prevent me from teaching the “great benefits of Hitler’s Nazi propaganda” in the history class. Or the “alternative” to gravity theory in the physics class.

[@JeanSmith-sz4uu]

Based on the biblical narrative and rational reasoning, we have to accept that the resurrection of Jesus or any of the prophets or individuals within the biblical narrative, i.e., they are spiritual and not physical resurrections even when literal words are used. Here are the biblical reasoning behind what is being said: Jesus called himself “the resurrection” even before he was crucified: Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die”. (John 11:25 NIV) This was Jesus himself who was speaking. He is making it crystal clear that it was the belief in him and his teachings that must be truly considered as true resurrection and not the crucifixion and belief in the reanimation of his physical body. It was the belief in him and his words which revived those who were spiritually dead, and brought them forth from their tomb of ignorance. This is all spiritual and not physical: “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you-they are full of the Spirit and life.” (John 6:63 NIV) What does the Bible teach about the physical body and resurrection? It says: “Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications”… (Hebrew 5:7 KJV) Therefore, the Bible teaches that Jesus had flesh or a physical body during his life on earth but that there came a time when he was no longer in possession of a physical body (he was a Spirit/Soul) . Read the whole chapter so you can see the whole content. What else does the Bible teach about physical body or flesh? Apostle Paul himself stated: “Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption“. (1 Corinthians 15:50 KJV) Therefore, no physical body which is a perishable biological entity can have any association or entrance into the Kingdom of God. After all, the Bible teaches that: “God is a Spirit” (John 4:24 KJV) and not a physical body, and that the Word which is Christ himself had existed as a Spirit (a nonphysical entity) long before even the creation of what we call earth. The Bible teaches that all that Jesus taught 2000 years ago were all revealed by the Father. Jesus made sure to tell Simon that flesh and blood are not important in this equation--not even his: “Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.” (Matthew 16:17 NIV) Everything Jesus Christ taught and spoke, about his flesh and body had a spiritual meaning and cannot be taken literally even though Jesus Christ was using “literal words” (check the Greek lexicon) related to “flesh and blood”: “Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” (John 6:53-58 NIV) Those who took him “literally”, later on they were accused of being cannibals. Read the history and this will become clear to you. Therefore, much of the language that Jesus used must be viewed and interpreted allegorical or symbolic. Jesus taught that it is the spirit that matters and not the flesh. The body has no importance: “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you-they are full of the Spirit and life.” (John 6:63 NIV) People had a very hard time understanding the symbolic and allegorical language that Jesus used--this frustrated Jesus often and said: “Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say.” (John 8:43 NIV) The phrase, “unable to hear” that Jesus Christ uses is obviously not a literal physical hearing but the inability to hear his words with spiritual hearing. Consider this that if people 2000 years ago had a hard time understanding Jesus Christ, there is no wonder why there are over 43,000 conflicting sects within Christianity. This should humble all Christians. What else can we learn from the topic of resurrection and spiritual truths? Well, Mary Magdalene couldn’t recognize Jesus after the resurrection: “At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.” (John 20:14-15 NIV) If this was a “literal”, glorified, bodily resurrection of Jesus, why did he appear like the gardener and was not recognized by Mary? Apparently Jesus did not look glorified, he just looked like someone else--not a shining angel, but like the gardener. We also read that the Lord Jesus Christ appeared quite differently to apostle Paul: About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?’ “ ‘Who are you, Lord?’ I asked. “ ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,’ he replied.” (Acts 9:4 KJV) Others who were with Paul did not see anything. A physical body is not invisible. Everyone should be able to see it. Moreover, physical bodies cannot go through doors and walls either, but yet, Jesus appears into a room with the disciples when all doors were locked: “A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” (John 20:26 NIV) So, what is my point? The point is Jesus Christ can do whatever he wishes. He can dematerialize from one place and materialize in another place. He can appear as a flash of light from heaven to one person, or as a gardener to another, and he can even eat a piece of fish right in front of you to prove he can do anything. Therefore, we are not questioning what Christ can or cannot do, however, when it comes to the physical resurrection, all the stories we read about his appearances, do not indicate the essential characteristics of the physical body of Jesus Christ as the flesh that he had before his crucifixion, and the Bible in numerous verses makes this very clear. More importantly, if we believe that Jesus Christ has been great eternally in the past without a physical body and long before he was even born, then, he was not in need of a physical body after his crucifixion either, just as Moses and Elijah didn’t need physical bodies either, when they both had appeared to Jesus Christ on Mount Tabor and then vanished from the sight. Why should anyone assume that after Jesus Christ’s physical birth from the womb of Mary, he had, forever, trapped his true eternal reality in some physical body whether it is assumed to be a regular body or some so called glorified body? To insist on this, is tantamount to limiting Jesus Christ to our earthly limitations. The Bible makes it clear that the resurrection of Jesus has much deeper spiritual meanings and should never be interpreted as a literal physical event. Please note that stating that Christ’s resurrection was a spiritual event and not a physical one, doesn’t mean Jesus Christ was incapable of the supernatural powers--it is that Jesus didn’t need any form of a physical body, and that his greatness transcends beyond any connection with the physical reality. Moreover, in numerous passages, the body of Christ has been interpreted to be the body of the believers or the church itself, and therefore, the resurrection is a spiritual reality which demonstrates the spiritual triumph of the cause of Christ, symbolized as a “body” which is none other than the body of the believers rising to promulgate his cause (the body) fearlessly: “And the church is his body”… (Ephesians 1:23 NLT) …”and build up the church, the body of Christ.” (Ephesians 4:12 NLT) “Christ is also the head of the church, which is his body.“ (Colossians 1:18 MLT) “And we are members of his body.” (Ephesians 5:30 NLT) “All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it.“ (1 Corinthians 12:27 NLT) Resurrection of all the manifestations of God are spiritual in nature and not physical or material. I have studied the Bible and continue to study it. “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing.….” (John 6:63 NIV)

There is no such thing as resurrection facts, there are resurrection claims , big difference.

[@Sophia1112-p1x]

Can I ask you what is the kind of "fact" or evidence that is not just a "claim" you expect we should have if the resurrection really happened? I'm genially asking

[@Obeytheroadrules]

@@Sophia1112-p1x The bible is written in mythical narratives , not historical texts, they are anonymous there are no signatories . The accuracy and historicity is dependent on the credibility of the author. Historic texts are written in a textbook like genre, with very little hyperbole, the gospels are the exact opposite, they are full of hyperbole and dramatic sequences and are extensively exaggerated. However nothing is written about the resurrection outside the bible for 100 years after crucifixion, if something like this happened every historian, poet, writer, scholar, artist , would have written something down in some way. Jesus himself is the claimed son of god , could perform miracles, but couldn’t write ???? , that’s like a UFO landing on the freeway today and nobody mentions it . Right throughout history, no question has ever had a supernatural answer, no experiment has ever had a superpower result, nothing supernatural has ever been proven EVER !

@@Obeytheroadrules Your claims simply aren't true. The book of Acts is regarded as extremely accurate in terms of its historical record. You claim the books were written 100 years after the crucification.. so 130AD. No scholar in existence would offer a date that late. For example, acts makes no mention of the death of James (60's), no mention of the Neronian persecution (late 60's), no mention of the Jewish war (60's) and no mention of the fall of Jerusalem (AD 70). The omission of these events is explained by Acts being written before they happened. 30 years from the cross, with plenty of eyewitnesses still alive. Moreover, Luke is regarded as the author of Acts. There is little scholarly dispute about that.

[@Obeytheroadrules]

@@fletcherchristian6522 Who said the book of acts is accurate ? Christian Scholars , ? Acts was also written by Mark, however there is no evidence whatsoever whether it is the same author of Mark in the Gospels. Regardless ( Jewish wars ) etc…. Are not supernatural claims, Josephus, Tacitus, Pilly, Suetonius etc…. All write about Jesus, however none were even born when Jesus was alive. All was written approximately 100 years after crucifixion, none of these writers believed Jesus was the resurrected son of god . Otherwise they themselves, would have been Christians , they were not . In 310 AD , historians / scholary writers couldn’t even decide whether Jesus was a real person, they had to call a council of Nicaea to decide whether he was even a god . Eyewitness ? Eyewitness testimony has been scientifically proven inaccurate, pre- DNA many people were wrongly accused of crimes they didn’t commit due to eyewitness testimony, later to be proven innocent.

[@fletcherchristian6522]

@@Obeytheroadrules I think your biblical knowledge is coming from the internet, rather than actual scholarly books on the subject. If you believe that a council was held in 310 to decide whether Jesus was an actual person then this conversation is over. I simply cannot help you. I would be better employed explaining chess to my cat. There are some excellent books on the ecumenical councils of the church... please read one.

The word resurrection and facts do not belong in the same sentence. The resurrection was a myth. The gospels tell us that even standing in the disciples presence, some of them still doubted. Well, if the man is standing right in your presence and you are doubting, it's a good sign that it didn't happen.

[@troywalstra9300]

25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. 26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: [then] came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace [be] unto you. 27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust [it] into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. 28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. 29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have believed. 30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. (John 20:25-31, KJV)

@@troywalstra9300 A myth written decades after his death. And even within the myth you can see that people who were supposedly standing in his presence doubted it was even him. He did not raise from the dead.

​@@JosephHewes-mm1bctoo funny you atheists. You think any Christian is interested in your opinion? You know - Jesus isn't risen because the tomb was empty. Jesus is risen because He's giving us access to God's love. And everyone who experienced that knows that He is risen and God is real. Atheists have gaslighted themselves into believing that there is no God and have hardened their hearts. So God can't reach them as He will not violate your free will. Tough luck. But you can change. I did, too. I grew up atheist and only became a Christian at 24. So everything is possible. But atheists arguing "no Jesus" is the same as people arguing "no love" because nobody ever loved them because they convinced themselves that there is no love. That it's all just "brain chemistry". A poor existence. I pity you - even in all your typical atheist arrogance.

There are no « facts » that can be proven as such regarding any religion. A book written by unknowns more than 2000 years ago who were not witnesses to the events they are commenting is far for being considered a factual description of anything.

[@davidplummer2473]

If they are "unknowns" how can you possibly know they weren't witnesses?

[@davidplummer2473]

Also, in the purely rational realm, nothing can be proven, only evidence offered for and against and we infer to the best explanation. Which means that either knowledge is impossible or the must be a form or forms of knowledge that are not rational. I propose two candidates: instinct and spiritual.

[@robertl.6919]

@ Let’s simplify : In a rational realm, only the existence of something can be proven. You can’t prove something doesn’t exist. Therefore for every claim that is made about the existence of something, anything, the burden of proof rests on the one who makes that claim. Simple. That goes for the spiritual, natural or supernatural worlds we can imagine…
