Bible Error: The Visit to the Tomb

by JosephAlward in

the following two accounts of the morning visit by the women to anoint jesus body are contradictory.

according to mark, the women wondered how they would remove the stone covering the tomb, but they found that it had already been rolled away.

matthew, however, says that when the women went to the tomb, there was an earthquake, and an angel came down from heaven, went to the tomb, and rolled the stone back.

Let me clarify once and for all my logic:

(and I apologize to Joseph for distorting the primary arguement of this tread! I will be more considerate next time!)

Since there undoubtedly, without arguement!, remains knowledge yet to be discovered, it be true that we have not yet conceived all there is to conceive. Now, since we have not yet conceived all there is to conceive, we can not without a doubt say that "what we can not conceive does not exist."

Imagine the epiphany if we, humanity, one day arose as said "what we can not conceive does not exist"?

Humanity is habitually seeking what we cannot conceive!

Our limited conceptions, then, do not permit an unbiased, without a doubt, disproving of God nor the Easter Bunny. This may sound completely irrational, but it is ultimately rational.

Now, if it be true that God and the Easter Bunny could exist, then the burden is upon "conscious" reverence of our conceptions.

Abaddon -

Life is nothing but double-edged reality!

You asserted my claim to be similar to the arguement:

"If it is possible that the Easter Bunny is real, then it is also possible that Santa and the Tooth Fairy are real, and hence all fairy stories may be truth."

The truth of the matter is, you CANNOT prove that the Easter Bunny is NOT real. I dare you to try it.

Such was my logic as I presented Christ, the Gospels, and the Bible to quite possibly BE true.

Now, if YOU were God, would you not also use logic (intelligence) rather than ridiculous "human" historical artifacts, to prove your existence?

These arguements about the 'historicity' of Christ Jesus, including the authenticity of the Gospels, are absolutely absurd!

Honestly, even if we could prove (to those who start such arguements) that Christ Jesus was in fact here on earth, we could NEVER EVER PROVE that he rose from the dead - that is something you would have had to witness first hand to know for fact!

Fellow believers, belief in Christ Jesus has always been and will always be a matter of faith.

From you numerous postings attempting to portray the Jesus as a myth predominantly by asserting that the Gospels are nothing more than fabrications by four storytellers...

The end result of your assertions, especially those included on your website, attempt ultimately to dismiss the predominant religion of western civilization, namely Christianity, as a falicy.

Now, it results from such reasoning that there are primary four ideologies a man can possess:

1. Jesus is real, I believe
2. Jesus is real, I don't believe
3. Jesus isn't real, I believe
4. Jesus isn't real, I don't believe

Ultimately, you have no other possibility than to select one of the above and live your life as such!

Only two of the above, however, apply to a Christian, a believer of Jesus, namely #1 and #3.

Now, all your agruements I've read thus far classifies Christians as according to #3 and only #3 (saying Jesus isn't real, yet multitudes believe).

Are you so blind you cannot see YOUR arguement STARTS as a falicy; namely, you can not prove Jesus is not real.

If it is possible that Jesus is real, then it is also possible the four Gospels are truth, and hence the entire Bible may be truth.

So, everything you write is no different from that which is contained in the Bible; namely, either position requires faith in an impossible.

Such is the world we live...

I was recently reading a thread on Deja (Google Groups) in regards to historical proof of Jesus. I found this statement inquisitve:

The question is, why would any historian take note of an
impoverished wandering Jew, preaching a prophetic message of equal
access to God and complete equality, and whose ministry lasted maybe
three years, sufficiently to write about him?

I've read many threads arguing for and against proof of Christ, yet never one which read as above. Call it enlightening!

Perhaps that IS the reason for few historical references to Jesus. But, more importantly, is it not amazing (perhaps divine) that the above ministry has literally affected millions if not billions throughout the ages?

Yet even more amazing is the fact the Bible (OT) foretold such would be His ministry!

What is the chance ??? Amen...

robdar -

did I not in fact say the movie 'somewhat' reflected the life of John Nash.

But that is besides MY point!

Ron Howard, at the end of the movie, sent a message (one which I find to be quite true based on personal experience!)

mindchild -

perhaps you missed my inclusion of the term 'virtuous religion' in the same reply?

I believe I did acknowledge the validity of your concern?

there are many religions (to these I include atheists and agnostics) that desire virtues and peace

but I believe you're going beyond and contemplating on those religions, etc. that distort basic virtues and preach what is evil is good

this is a concern in our day and age on the magnitude of a global Holy War, one I pray my children will never encounter!

if you, in fact, KILL me over your religious beliefs, then you have in fact forced your belief upon me; and YES, I agree that such a criminalistic mindset and civilized depravity needs to be outlawed!

"A Beautiful Mind"

What a great movie! (a somewhat true story of the life of John Forbes Nash, Mathematician, Princeton)

Not wishing to reveal the content, I can only say the final remark by Nash saying "I am here because of love" is so true...

Of all human aptitudes, only love transfixes the horizons.

Thank you Ron Howard and Russell Crowe for such a remarkable movie that has personal significance!
