This is a video using Todd Agnew's song "My Jesus" from his album "Reflect Something". It uses images to ask the questions present in the song.
As this video is getting more views, there have been a few people commenting on their disbelief in Christ. That is fine with me to share your belief or your unbelief. But from now on if you curse in your comments on my video I am removing your comments, period. I'm tried of the hate and profanity being put on this video. So if you want your comment to be read, be civil. Thank you.

NOW - I have gone to great lengths to answer everyone one of your questions, to point out places in scripture and address your concerns. Yet you have yet to answer a single one of my questions. Why is this?
I await your response to my statements.

killed at his side. That fact that we know the name of Jesus Christ today screams out the testimony of the resurrection. If He is not risen, why would anybody care, at least that is the Christian position.

You are also misunderstanding the significance here. Jesus in life was a complete failure as a leader. He never traveled more than a 100 miles from home. He died without a friend and without a penny to his name. He was no "VIP" he was some young upstart in a backwoods region in the armpit of the Roman empire. No records exist because it didn't matter. Crucifixions were a daily occurrence and the death of Jesus was no more significant to the Romans than the other two men...

10 - You are misunderstanding the purpose of the gospels here.
Most of the gospels where written in response to one another, referencing one another.
These different accounts do not negate the others accounts of the resurrection.

9 - Matthew never says where the angel is
Mark does say the angel is inside
Luke only says the angels appeared (no mention of where)
John says they are inside
Where is the problem here? For all we know all of these accounts could have happened inside the tomb according to the gospels.
Why does this "crawl" under your skin?

8 - Again, what's the difference? The message was the same from the angel or angels whether there was one or two.

6 - You are referring to Matt 28:2-4 - which is an explanation that Matthew was giving to the Jews to discount the believe that Christ's body had been stolen. He made mention of this being very important to him, the other gospels were not written for this purpose.
7 - Yes Matthew says the angel the other gospels are silent, big deal? So what?

4 - It was Jewish custom to anoint the body with spices. Christ died on the eve of the sabbath and there was no time. So the women came early after the sabbath (the third day by Jewish reckoning). There is your reason, what's your point?
5 - Actually Mark and Luke make a quick mention of an earthquake like event.
Matt 27:51-56 = Mark 15:38-41 = Luke 23:45b - 49
So the answer to your question 3 out of 4 accounts say yes.
