One thing is certain. The Bible is a book of short stories, those that expose only a literal truth in all of them critical thinking, see the strength. When I was a child, seemed to have Sunday school, where the supernatural events of the Old and New Testament were expressed in the head and simply assume that these things really happened.
Snakes really chat with Eve to hide the truth of God from them. Boats, instead of all animal life on Earth for aYears drowned, while the whole world people. God spoke through burning bushes that do not burn. Ax head floated. The right man could raise his hands and stop the sun and the moon dead in their tracks, could stop the rotation of the earth, without the desired effects. And, of course, the dead were raised to life on many occasions, as necessary.
This was the resurrection of the dead, which has always fascinated and creeped me as a child. Have these children and adultsbecame famous after this? Is the beginning raiseer in the air come and get me out, and become really angry with the benefit it brings back the sheep flock? And how about this:
"Elisa was hit by illness, was dead … And Elisha died and was buried. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the country in coming years. It happened that, as the funeral of a man, behold, he saw a group of men and threw the man in the graveElisha, and when the man was let down and touched the bones of Elisha, who once again, and stood "(2 Kings 13:14,20-21 KJV)
Here is a man fell dead in the grave of Elijah, which affects the bones and soul! Now, even as a child, I wonder if the man was dead to begin with and that meets the bone to stimulate a person, or if he had died and risen, that a terrible story, I imagined him to his feet and shouted up to the guys had thrown in the hole: "Hey, Holme back up, which is not dead anymore. "Of course they are just pulled him back and said," Oh, sorry. "Children have imagination when it comes to stories like this.
The dead were always brought to life in the Bible. Was common as getting stoned, which was the standard punishment for offenses Bible. I saw the stoning of a woman in Iran on the Internet again. Big Mistake. One wonders if there really is a God, or why this in the Old Testament, the feeling is"Our dear Father in heaven." Nuthe problem, I think.
But apart from the resurrection of Jesus' is a story from the book of Matthew, and think only in the book of Matthew, who always gave me.
"But by noon there was darkness over the whole land until three o'clock in the afternoon. And the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying Eli, Eli, lama Lama? Mean, my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me ? … And behold the veil of the temple for renttwo from top to bottom, and the earth shook and the rocks rent, and the graves were opened and many bodies appeared the Saints, who slept got up and left the tomb after his resurrection, and went into the holy city and many. "
(Matthew 27:45-53)
Well, that was a story, does not matter that no one ever mentions this event again. Jew historian Josephus, writing in the second half of the first century AD, has produced two importantWorks: History of the Jewish War and Antiquities of the Jews. It says nothing about this extraordinary event. It loses its focus on large, that none of these reports, interviews and not one of "many" to be asked just want to feel like for years.
Peter is never mentioned in its attempts to convince the masses that Jesus did not rise, in fact, from the dead. Paul is never mentioned this incident as evidence ofResurrection of Jesus' does not. The fact that they need to be resurrected saints still alive, and now members in good standing of the ancient Church never seems to come. One might think that would get at least as deacons and elders! I hope that did not lead to die back quickly, even if no longer needed, as a sort of general resurrection of the saints! A death is scary enough and the few that could not be part of many resurrected the lucky ones, havingall.
Everything that is written in the Bible in a dramatic way! The sun was extinguished and the earth shakes and rocks hire. As I child I remember, "For God the rent," "the veil of the temple, when Jesus died?" Why not ask, "Here now. Holys The saint is now open to all. If you do not, then I will hire." And when the broken rocks, not most, of Jerusalem, including the temple, because fall I mean, high roof, pillars, large swimming pool – all are good candidates forRental and drop. But this does not suggest a thing, except that the observation of Matthew. But back to the account.
"And the graves were opened and many bodies of saints which slept arose and left the tomb after his resurrection, and went into the holy city and appeared to many."
(Matthew 27:45-53)
So here we have Jesus on the cross, still alive and in despair that God has abandoned him. At this point, it seems, or perhaps implicitly,at the time of his death, the graves of many of the show "holy" and they rise from the dead. Well not really, because it seems someone found a problem with this verse, and has just a bit 'to make reading doctrinally acceptable for the future.
But first, what to do with these people, "Ghost?" The Saints are not good members in good standing of the Church and of Christians converted? Jesus did not die, or just died! There is no church, and certainly not a saint, if not immediately afterJesus passed, a curious followers last year or three years, according to the Gospel shows, qualifies as a saint. " Hmmm, seems like something that promises to history, when the church after running for decades.
Secondly, it is stated that it was a resurrection of "many bodies of saints." Many? What about "everything". It would not be too much to leave something behind you! You can imagine that the talks have followed in the weeks after it hasEvent?
"Hey, Shlomo back! So, where is your Benjamin?" Oh, really? "Not one of the many eh?" I'm sorry. "O …
"Hey Mary, my Sol, who died will be remembered, last year, said hello. This was not your husband, one of the blind that Jesus healed, and died the same period. What has been hitherto ?
In any case, it seems that only the many recipients, but not everyone has.
Then we opened the graves is the problem, but no, I just came to Jesuspersonal resurrection. Here are doctrinally correct a.
Matthew, or the publisher who discovered this problem, not forward in the resurrection of Jesus, by anyone, not to mention many of the "saints". This would be the cart before the horse. Jesus could not "first born of many brothers" if there were many of the brothers was already in operation, during one of Jesus' death on the cross asking why God had forsaken him, or new and not yet deadresurrected itself. Thus, the words "after his resurrection" has been added to this event is doctrinally correct. This sentence was: "It would not be added after his resurrection," the story would have been an endless source of problems of teaching, as if it is now.
So here we have opened these graves, but the facilities are there just to look openly ewwwwwwwww … Bone is usually not more posts, even if these companies. Then, after Jesus rose on the bodies and went home to seeThe family and friends. One might think that someone would talk about this later, but no great impression on everyone, but apparently, Matthew.
Another way this could actually was the case that the saints were brought back to life just when he opened the graves, (I wonder how I can open it?), But was just taking the sun for three days and three nights until Jesus was there again. Talk about boring and afraid, when you do not know what was going on! One might think that in any case thatDisciple, Giuseppe Arimethea – who is Jesus, the women brought spices to the tomb, and all were buried in the tombs opened and have not noticed by Jews or Romans, but the saints!
When the graves were opened for three days, you do not get the word out and get the city to fill up the business again with them? If there are new messages, the one that stinks, and if they were fresh on the rules of life for now low, what fear is? I can not imagine how a child, of course, a small amount, at anyChat with the open grave of the saint and the saint said, "Help me, I can not move. Not knowing he was lying, had risen to Jesus first. I can also imagine a small band of plea hearing, dispersion and fast.
Well, it's a great story that nobody, but Matthew seems to be to use consciously or more of the Gospel. Knowledge of the authors of Matthew, it never happened. Matthew was making more far-reaching and searching the Scriptures for a spot on Jesus Matthewcould mean a history of the Old Testament, was never intended to understand. Matthew and everyone was full of "plain in the story of Jesus 'birth', where back in the Old Testament, everything from the virgin birth of Jesus of Nazareth would have expected that, on return from Egypt after Herod dies demonstrate, are examples of this more than achieved. No one had to prove that the right to Jesus, always ready, like Matthew, Matthew, who was real, and cannot that you think. It would be a bit 'with me to show how the parts of Lord of the Rings ", Tolkien provided for the war in Iraq.
So go visit friends in Jerusalem to the saints is gone. But we have no names and no other accounts. We have no stories of happy reunion of the dead with the living. No one seems to write about this in a public record and nobody will ever continue to use this event to the proof of the resurrection of Jesus or God's power in fact has never comeand only the non-critical and hard (pun:) would be a literal event in space and time dig (pun again):
