I see, so the resurrection of Jesus and all of the other resurrections in the bible were spiritual resurrections, not people being brought back to life from actual corpse in the ground death. . "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

There is no other explanation for the life of the Apostles, the disciples, and the fervent spread of the Gospel in the face of great persecution. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

And a very old and often repeated myth it is. Scores of people have supposedly been resurrected as gods, Jesus is just one of many, and certainly not any more important than the rest. Here are 10 of the most famous. See how many names you recognize. Ask your average Christian about this and he will have zero idea what you're talking about. Just one more thing they stole from the pagan religions. http://listverse.com/2013/03/30/10-resurrected-religious-figures/ If you take a risk, you may lose.

so none of the other resurrections were real in the fullest sense, and you can tell because the stories of these other resurrections didn't survive suppression and persecution, and the stories weren't spread fervently? You certainly can't tell from the text - they don't tell you that this one was real and that one was not. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts."

There is, as with all things in faith and any really important issue, converging evidence leading to certain credibility. Is there any verifiable human person, not a myth, besides Jesus Christ that has resurrected? I present for evidence Evenbob's ridiculous list. None of those myths are real, there is not historical evidence for any of them. They also have ridiculous and fanciful stories that you have to squint really hard through biased glasses to see much of a connection to the real historical person of Jesus Christ. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

So is it the church's position that the other resurrections documented in the bible were real, or not? for convenience: reference http://www.biblestudy.org/question/who-has-been-resurrected-from-the-dead.html "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts."

Those are all real resurrections too. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

There is no evidence at all that Jesus was anything other than a religious blowhard with a god complex. There have certainly been many like him before and since. If you had any real evidence that he was divine, you'd be on here crowing about it every day. No, you have nothing other then the scratchings in a 2000 year old book that's nothing but hearsay and urban legend. It's silly and contradicts itself at every turn. That you choose to base your life on it is your problem, some of us think more of ourselves and choose to think for ourselves. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

FrGamble Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 67 Posts: 7596 | The evidence is hiding in plain sight, it is implicit in your strange post. There have been many before and since and yet there is Jesus who stands alone as the most influential human being who has ever or will ever live. He has changed the lives of countless people for the better. More than can count, like myself, have a real and deep personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Think for a second about what you are saying in calling so many people crazy or stupid. You do think more of yourself, to the point where you yourself are replacing God - what an ego! If all you choose to base your life on is yourself then if you want to compare silliness and contradictions I will take the Bible over your life (or my life) any day and twice on Sundays. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |
