resurrection

On this Easter Sunday, when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, I thought it would be interesting to hear a scientist explain why he believes in the resurrection. A Scientist Looks at the Resurrection A Scientist Looks at the Resurrection A physicist confesses that the electron is...

After my last thread "Can one disprove Jesus' resurrection?" ended in a debate over whether it is possible to disprove things, I wish to ask a different question: What are the three strongest, most direct pieces of evidence against Jesus' transfigured resurrection? By the "transfigured"...

When, many years ago, I started arguing with a creationist, in a duel of letters in our local newspaper, he asserted that the empty tomb was an irrefutable argument against which non-believers had only lame rebuttals. Using Matthew's resurrection account, he said that the people of the day could...

According to Mark, he appeared to nobody. The only evidence of the Resurrection, according to Mark was the empty tomb. Matthew says he first met Mary Magdalene and "the other Mary" as they were coming from the tomb to tell the disciples the tomb was empty and the stone had been rolled away by...

In honour of St George's Day, just wondering why you take this tale of a man returning from the dead more seriously than George's slaying of the dragon?

Some days I think about it, and think there was probably some guy named Jesus, and he was quite a talker, got a lot of followers and a bunch of disciples together, and they went around preaching and such. One day he was captured and hung up on a cross, as they tended to do with rabble-rousers in...

OK in this break away from Doc's incredibly long thread I suggest we chat over the resurrection. You can do what you want, say what you want and proceed how you like, cause this is the JREF and no poster should try to dictate how others develop a thread :) A Philosophical Aside Still I'm...

I responded to this assertion by stating that there is no evidence outside of the Bible to support the resurrection and Kathy replied She also provide alink that she "trusts to be a reliable source of info." . . . . . . . . . . . . I figured that many of the regulars here have already...

From Foxnews this morning: And what did the 11 year old girl suffer from you ask? A treatable form of diabetes. She needless suffered for about a month from nausea, vomiting, excessive thirst, loss of appetite and weakness before she died. How sad....

Look, I'm sure I'm not the first to figure this out, but in future, I have only one question for christians: Where was Jesus buried? Which "tomb" was he resurrected from? I state that I will publicly go down on my knees and pray to him, if I can just be shown WHERE JESUS CHRIST WAS BURIED. You...

The death and resurrection of Jesus is a central concept of Christian theology - the idea that Jesus died to save our souls is a cornerstone of the faith. Leaving aside the dubious historicity of the documented events for a moment, I've never understood why it's so important to our Christian...

I think he's gonna have to be a bit more specific in Step 3... There are so many holes in this, you could play a tune on it in a high wind...I don't think logic and mathematics necessarily peacefully co-exist...remember, 2 + 2 = 5, for large values of 2...

Who believes in the resurrection and calls themselves a Christian? Can you still call yourself a Christian if you do not believe in the resurrection?

Hello, everybody. I feel like somebody calling into a radio station or something, but... I'm a long-time lurker, first time poster. Here's something I've been wondering: Was the resurrection of Jesus simply the most overblown "big fish" story? When I really think about it, I'm thinking that...
