- Did this man called 'Jesus' raise from the dead?
- Problem. Statistically not many people raise from the dead. Most people who are dead stay dead. Historically the tomb was empty so somebody must have stolen his body. There were only three groups of people around at the time, the Romans, the Jews and the 12 disciples. If the romans or jews took his body, they would have produced it right away to disprove Jesus as God (the jews) or to stop a rebellion (the Romans) but they didn't. Thus both a belief in this new God and political unrest occurred! Christianity should not have got off the ground it should have been proved wrong.
- Did Jesus survive the crucifixion?
- The Roman empire was the best military force in the world. they had total control of all the known world! a big reason for this was due to their strict rule over crime and rebellion. many criminals didn't even make it to the cross due to the flogging. Jesus was more than a criminal, he was a revolutionary (in the eyes of Rome) who was in for it big time! the floggers themselves were under rapps, if their victim escaped death then their punishment was execution. so not only did Jesus survive being wiped and beaten, he survived the mile walk under the weight of a 30 kg cross beam, being nailed to the cross, suffocation, drowning (in his own blood), showing all signs of death, then he was in a tomb without food or water for three days, then he has the strength to role back 1000 kg rock and fight off 2-16 soldiers trained in the greatest army force of the time.
-The disciples
-these 12 guys knew Jesus inside out,they were his closest mates. say they stole the body o Jesus so their point would look good. however did these people go all over the world for a lie. at the time only Europe was known about. they new nothing outside that. its like you or i going into outer space to preach about our mate to whoever is out there. they didn't just say he was alive, they died for that fact. his mate James was crucified and asked if he couldn't be nailed to the cross so he would have more time to live and preach the gospel from the cross. john asked to be crucified upside down because he would not be worthy to die in the same way as christ.
10 of the remaining 11 dies for christ name and the son of God. The 11th died of old age as he wrote letters and books to other believers around the world. isn't it possible that one of them could have cracked?
