in the greek it says
the time was around the time of the sabbath
so people weren't hanging out by graves
the women waited until the sabbath was over to attempt to add spices to the body of christ
but the army officer saw what happened
that's why he and the guys with him were afraid
it was fear of god
they realized this event was a miracle
just like when peter had fear of god (a good kind of fear - more like amazement) when the big catch of fish thing happened
the army officer said "truly this was god's son"
not just because of an earthquake or sun going dark
but because of the people who were raised from the dead
in john's gospel he said there were lots of things that never got written down
because jesus did so many many miracles

Jesus ate and talked with "known apostates"
by FragrantAddendum inwt nwt bible says in their study note that satan entered into judas iscariot on nisan 12. which means jesus ate with, interacted with, prayed with, and washed the feet of .
a "known apostate" (bible says jesus knew the one betraying him from the beginning of when judas started to go bad).
there is no "scriptural basis" for wt to say "shun apostates".

judas iscariot was the worst kind of "apostate"
jesus didn't shun apostates
(he just didn't eat the memorial with them)
the wt gb and their hierarchy are the worst apostates
i wouldn't eat memorial with wt even if you paid me 100 billion dollars😝

Nowhere in the Biblical text, and nowhere in the Fathers do we read of a resurrection of these "saints" being "flesh and blood" and that these were seen as you state.
they weren't "saints" as in "anointed" but they were holy ones, faithful jews
it's right there

that's nice
Various account in the Fathers, on the basis of these verses, I repeat, the Church Fathers themselves who you owe the very preservation and canonization of the New Testament to, claim that these 'appearences' were likely "apparitions" if they did occur at all.
i don't have any connection to those apostate "church fathers"
to me they're just another version of the gb
they made a bunch of stuff up and it wasn't in harmony with the ancient jewish writings

anyway, many jews wrote about the flesh-and-blood resurrections of old performed by elijah and elisha
so when god resurrected some dead people back to human life at jesus' death
it wasn't like it had never happened before
when elisha was asleep in death god did a resurrection in association with elisha's remains
jesus had healed people from a distance before
so god choosing to resurrect a bunch of dead faithful jews in association with the death of jesus for a sign
and when the army officer and those with him saw it
they declared, regarding christ "truly this is god's son"

KalebOutWest: "The Greek word "resurrection" does not mean to come back to life as a spirit person after death. The word means "to stand up, again," as in "physically.""
KalebOutWest: "The text does not use the word "resurrection."
Matthew 27:52 reads:
καὶ πολλὰ σώματα τῶν κεκοιμημένων ἁγίων ἠγέρθησαν
And many bodies of the sleeping saints rose
The word "resurrection" does not occur."
The word "saints" was not used in the original.
while some english translations there read "saints" the pentecost pouring out of holy spirit hadn't happened yet
none of the jews were anointed yet so they weren't "saints"
jesus hadn't ascended to heaven yet
the jews who were resurrected as referred to in mt 27:52 are called ἁγίων
ἁγίων is better translated "holy ones"

that the jews believed in two kinds of resurrections is clear from the scriptures

i'm not arguing with you, @kaleb, i agree on the standing again thing in the flesh
the resurrections that elijah and elisha did were not some kind of "spirit thing" they were of flesh and blood people
that's why when jesus came back it was something different that hadn't been done before and hasn't been done since
no one had ever been resurrected as a spirit creature
and no one else has since
jesus materialized a body in order to show he'd been resurrected
none of the other "saints" have done that because none of them have been resurrected
the wt teaching that the 144,000 are already resurrected since 1914 or 1918 or whatever they're teaching these days is false
the mt 27 thing where it says the bodies came out of the graves and were seen was a flesh and blood resurrection like the ones elijah and elisha did - they weren't "spirits" who appeared like ghosts or something
