10 Commandments in Schools

[glenlogie]

You are talking about a bible story told in all 4 Gospels, but no two tell the same story.

In any case, this event is not substantiated by evidence outside scripture.

So if you believe if there arefour witnesees to one event, all four witnesses to one event, there will be no differences in their stories? You want me to believe that.

there are no contradictions in the four accounts, just different recollections on a complicated series of events.

As I said, why didn‘t the authorities produce the body?

 

[vibise]

As I said, why didn‘t the authorities produce the body?

The bottom line is that the resurrection is a religious belief that has not and cannot be confirmed as historical fact.

 

[Michael R2]

As I said, why didn‘t the authorities produce the body?

How could they? If I recall the narrative correctly, the body was surrendered by the authorities to friends and family.

The bottom line is that the resurrection is a religious belief that has not and cannot be confirmed as historical fact.

In other words you cannot prove it did not happen, so you throw up your hands and classify it with one of your favorite pejoratives.

Plenty of evidence exists that Jesus was killed and authorities could not produce the body

 

[glenlogie]

How could they? If I recall the narrative correctly, the body was surrendered by the authorities to friends and family.

But Roman guards were stationed at the tomb to prevent it being taken.

 

[glenlogie]

The bottom line is that the resurrection is a religious belief that has not and cannot be confirmed as historical fact.

And history cannot prove it did nof happen, so it is an open question. Events of history are argued all the time.

 

[Michael R2]

But Roman guards were stationed at the tomb to prevent it being taken.

That is not possession of the body. Also, I believe they fell asleep.

 

[glenlogie]

That is not possession of the body. Also, I believe they fell asleep.

An action punishable by death.

 

[Fred]

The bottom line is that the resurrection is a religious belief that has not and cannot be confirmed as historical fact.

More manuscripts, more earlier manuscripts to the original and more accurately copied manuscripts than from any other writing from the ancient world.
If one were to reject what the New Testament affirms then all other historical books of antiquity would also be swept away.

 

[glenlogie]

That is not possession of the body. Also, I believe they fell asleep.

Your claim that guards in front of a tomb is nof possession is laughable

 

[Michael R2]

An action punishable by death.

So. The question remains, why would you expect the authorities to produce a body they did not have possession of?

 

[Michael R2]

Your claim that guards in front of a tomb is nof possession is laughable

So, answer it while you laugh. Remember that they were sleeping.

 

[glenlogie]

So. The question remains, why would you expect the authorities to produce a body they did not have possession of?

Because they had the power and could investigate and find where the body was moved. It was in their best interest to produce the body.

 

[glenlogie]

So, answer it while you laugh. Remember that they were sleeping.

So the movement of a large stone would nor have waken them,? Your excuse is lame.

 

[glenlogie]

So. The question remains, why would you expect the authorities to produce a body they did not have possession of?

So you believe that soldiers valued sleep much more than staying alive.. I really have to laugh at that one.

 

[Carol]

Yep...making you pause to wonder why a day of deliberate rest would improve health...

I heard that in SDAism.

It's a "shadow". Col 2, Hebrews 10.

"Come unto me, all ye labouring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest" Matt 11

We who have believed enter that rest.... Hebrews 4

...and why it's easier to imagine God in our neighbor than in the clay we form with our own hands...The 10 Commandments are meant to engender reflection,

Paul called them "the ministry of death". 2 Cor 3

not to triumphally invade the rabid pagans' space. But reflection is deliberately eschewed for the narrative in today's state schools...and there is no higher authority than the state that enforces the narrative.

 

[Carol]

Correct. By the time of Justin Martyr, this had been solidly in place for a while. And it likely dates back to what we read in the New Testament.



Sure they do.



It's not really "my" interpretation. I didn't invent this.

And you share the opinion of what it "looks like" and are posting it here.

 

[Carol]

Most folks don't know what "holy" means.

Do you?

Is that a stumbling block for you? What's your best source for the Word of God? I find Him there, in the Bible which I also call The Word, myself.

You find someone in reading what others have to say about them?

 

[Michael R2]

Because they had the power and could investigate and find where the body was moved. It was in their best interest to produce the body.

Why was it in their best interest?

So you believe that soldiers valued sleep much more than staying alive.. I really have to laugh at that one.

The we'll laugh together. That's all your response deserves.
