@markvleth The language has split into two different directions since the days of old english. NEITHER of us speak english properly.

a mind like his should not be lost to time

@santanaquan In the ancient times, empty tombs were a symbol of divinity. For example, it is said that Alexander the Great arranged for his body to be hidden after he died to dope people into thinking that he was a God (evidently this worked better for Jesus than for Alex).

@EEEL123 i dont believe God either but the empty tombs were symbols of what? i have never heard of this before

i used to be a believer, but then i took rationality to the brain

@Evangeline220 I do not believe in the Bible, especially not about the miracles and the God bit, but even your own holy text strikes out your argument. And yes, Mark does mention the empty tomb, but in ancient cultures, empty tombs were symbols, and Mark may not have meant it as a literal statement.

[EEEL123]

@Evangeline220 So we can see that even the Bible states that Jesus rose in a non-bodily form, that is, as a vision to his disciples, although the later Gospels were embellished, so much so that Thomas gets the unenviable job of sticking his fingers through the holes in Jesus' wrists.

[EEEL123]

@Evangeline220 The Epistles of Paul were actually written before all four Gospels, and Paul says that Jesus rose not in physical form but in a spiritual, non-physical body. The original Gospel of Mark ends with an announcement that Jesus had risen, but does not mention how (the ending was later modified). Matthew and Luke came later, and their stories are more developed. John's Gospel was the latest and is massively embellished and reads like Norse poetry in its grandiosity.

@EEEL123 If any one of the guards fell asleep, they would all have been killed. Anyone interfering with the Roman seal on the tomb would have been killed. Romans persecuted Christians. If the Romans had taken the body, they would have stopped this new religion by producing it. the Jews would have done the same thing.

Pictures of osama bin laden's dead body aren't even close to the resurrection of Christ.

[EEEL123]

@Evangeline220 What seems more likely: that a man was resurrected or that the guards were negligent and someone pinched his body. As for you question about why the Romans didn't bring his body out - well, does the fact that the American government refused to release pictures of Osama bin Laden's body mean that maybe they didn't actually kill him?

[Evangeline220]

@EEEL123 Where was His body?

Why didn't the chief priests and pharisees and Romans bring his body out to prove the early Christians were wrong?

His tomb was guarded and sealed.  Anyone tampering with the seal would have been dead meat. His disciples were too afraid to be grave robbers. They would not have been marytr fpr a dead man.
