Did you know that our belief system centers on one thing...the empty tomb. If Christ Jesus did not rise from the grave, no salvation. However, there is no doubt that He did. People saw Him, He walked around for 40 days. There's more "secular" proof of the death and burial of Jesus than there is for Caesar. Even the guards refused to lie and say the Apostles stole the Body of Jesus. I imagine, but have no way of knowing for sure, they were under extreme pressure to say this.
Second, women were not taken seriously. They were second class citizens to the Pharisees, especially any non-Jewish woman or one with a questionable past as Mary Magdalene had. Of course Christ Jesus knew this yet who did He appear to first? A man? No, to Mary. Jesus set women free!!!
Also, no one seriously doubts that Jesus Christ walked this earth. Anyone who makes such a ridiculous claim is obviously very illiterate. What the atheists, etc. scream at us is that He didn't rise from the grave. I don't understand the "Atheist Agenda" at all. Why do they care? Well, I did some research and a few theories are floating around. One is this, they blame "Christianity" as the most barbaric of all religions. REALLY? The people who go around doing these atrocious things in YHWH's name is NOT a true believer. They use God as an excuse but they ar They are Christian in name only, IF that much and most likely 100% atheists. So all those who do these things aren't Christian anymore than I'm a pineapple. And they think they're so enlightened. I pray every night (or try to but it's not like He forgets) for one encounter between every atheist and the Holy Spirit. It will change their life. Search "A Case for Christ" on YouTube by Lee Stroebell (sp). He was determined to prove there is no God. He's a journalist. Now he's also a Christian! Never give up hope.
Let me ask you a few questions. How many people do you personally know that would willingly be crucified upside down because they weren't "worthy" to be crucified in the same manner as his Lord and Savior? Peter did that. All of the Apostles were martyred except for one, that was John. He was put in prison, exiled, persecuted horribly but Jesus Christ chose John to reveal one of the most important books in our Holy Bible. I used to be so afraid of that Book but now, it's one of my favorites. When read correctly, it is the most hopeful book in the Bible. This is not a "rapture debate" because for us sealed with the Holy Spirit, what do we have to fear? We are not appointed to wrath. That is Biblical. What your personal opinion on what this means doesn't matter. What God will do, He will do! Your opinions and thoughts are not His.
How many people do you know who would give up their entire life to spread a lie? You would have been severely hated and persecuted. You would have been kicked out of the synagogues which, back then, would have been social suicide. If you wanted to speak to Jesus and were Jewish, you had to do it in secret.
I don't think any sane person would die for a lie. Yeshua ah Messiach, our God and Savior, rose from the dead. He spent 40 days afterward and then ascended into Heaven to be with Our Heavenly Father. He had to fulfill 300+ prophecies before He could be born and He can't return until every last prophecy has been fulfilled.
These are things I've read and watched while struggling with my faith recently. I came through storm and stronger than ever. Now I just want to grow. Unless what I say is in the Bible, it is my opinion and thoughts but that TOMB WAS EMPTY!
We also must believe eye witness accounts regarding His resurrection. Pontius Pilate wrote Caesar a letter and said in regards to Christ Jesus...In his opinion, He was the Son of God. This is based on many Biblical scriptures, othersDo you know how Jesus Christ REALLY died? The cross didn't kill Him, He laid down His life for us and died quite literally from A BROKEN HEART!
FYI, THE SPEAR IN THE SIDE PROVES THAT CHRIST JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD. SOMEONE DID A FORENSIC ANALYSIS BASED ON SCRIPTURE (AMAZING) AND WHAT KILLED JESUS CHRIST. IT WAS NOT CRUCIFIXION BUT A LITERAL, REAL BROKEN HEART. THE WATER AND BLOOD THAT GUSHED OUT PROVES IT.
BE BLESS AND SHARE THE GOSPEL OF SALVATION...
