Dad had a lot of chores for him to do?
It seems he did see his shadow, so we have 2,000 years, and counting, of no return. Damn those sunny Palestinian days.
God has OCD?
You’ve obviously never heard of Blood Bonds 
Cite: The Bible
Would you like me to list every verse individually?
Perhaps, instead, you could list the verse that mentions the Trinity?
One has already been mentioned above. Use the vertical scrollbar located on the right side of the screen to navigate this web page.
I’m sure too, but that doesn’t mean that an opinion on it must be based upon those debates. It could be that his opinion is based upon his personal reading of the Bible. It could be he disagrees with the debaters on one side, which would rather tend to make sense otherwise there would be no debate.
Wasn’t it a prophecy?
Just like him being born in the City of David and such, didn’t he have to rise “on the third day” (not 72 hours) to fullfill an Old Testament prophecy?
“Thank you for calling Microsoft Resurrection Support Solutions. Your call is important to us. All of our representatives are currently busy, but if you stay on the line, someone will be with you shortly. Average current wait time is … nine thousand minutes.”
Since you apparently can’t be bothered to cite it yourself, I’m going to go ahead and assume you’re referring to I John 5:7
KJV: For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
I guess that if we assume “the Word” is referring to Jesus of Nazareth instead of the more logical interpretation of “the Bible”, then, yeah.
Got anything better? Or shall I begin listing bible verses that don’t mention the trinity? (I’ll be beginning with Genesis.)
I don’t know about an OT prophecy, but we have Matthew 26:61:
Mark 14:58
John 2:19
Of course, this doesn’t really count.
More logical? Only to those who haven’t read John 1:1-3.
No mention of Jesus here.
But if we replace “the Word” with “God”, then we get:
Not sure how this helps your argument.
Well then, page down to John 1:14, which says, “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” Who do you suppose that is?
This passage might not mention Jesus by name, but it’s pretty obvious who it’s referring to – especially since it’s the introduction to a book in which Jesus himself is undeniably the focus.
Gees guys it was the Easter holiday weekend. You ever tried getting a carpenter to work over Easter?
I think it’s because he had to descend and ascend. Hell and Heaven, respectively.
Possibly, the shelflife of a body in a desert environment becomes officially unclean, untouchable, and ooky in decay upon the 72 hour mark.
The first Christian writer to say anything about Jesus being raised on the 3rd day was Paul (1 Cor. 15:4), who said it was done “in accordance with Scripture.” Now, it isn’t clear what scripture he was talking about since there was no Jewish scripture which made any such prediction for the Messiah, but it’s often proffered that Paul was alluding to Jonah being in the whale for three days.
In any case, Mark got the 3rd day meme from Paul and built it into his empty tomb narrative. The rest of the evangelists took it from Mark.
Oh, ya, I know about vampires… I was referring to his daylight showings.
He was playing final fantasy 7 and the CD kept crashing after Sephiroth torched the village.
The Resurrection reports are full of contradictions*.
Mark (16:1-4) makes no mention of any guard and says the stone had already been rolled back.
Jesus was not in the tomb.
Luke (:1-3) also doesn’t mention any guard, says the stone was rolled back and that Jesus was not in the Tomb.
John (20:1-7) ditto.
*apart from the guard and the stone;
- who entered the Tomb
- how many people they found there
- who saw Jesus risen + when they saw him
