I've asked this question before. They either pretend not to understand the question or they ignore it completely. Poor little Jesus-sheep.

What happened to Matthew's zombies?
|
We can't say for sure. The Bible doesn't always give us the details for every question. What we do know for sure (taken from reading below/the text): Tombs were opened by an earthquake when Jesus died. Many bodies of dead saints were raised from the dead. They came out of their graves after Christ was resurrected. They went into Jerusalem and appeared to many people. They were alive.
To speculate, they could have been taken up to heaven soon after, or they finished out their lives and died and are awaiting the final resurrection (like Lazarus). More Detail: If it could be proven beyond doubt that God exists... and that He is the one spoken of in the Bible... would you repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ?
You know that "for sure," huh?
Jackass.
They went to Rome and built a place called the Vatican . . .

Not an issue. I have no trouble shitting on fundies in absentia for my own amusement.

ALLEGORY. It would be cool if there was just one Christian group, instead of tens of thousands, so what was meant as metaphorical or not is really hard to decide. Nowadays basically if someone can prove something is just impossible or heinous if taken literally, Christians are more likely to call it a metaphor. Still, there are people like Ken Ham who insist it's all the literal, inspired word of Yahweh. No exceptions.

But - for an intelligent - educated - and logical person - expecting that such passages in the bible MIGHT be true - is comical. Why is it that there is NO mention of such things in any of the writings of the historians of the day? Remember - this is the golden age of Rome. THE bible itself mentions lots of scribes - but there were also lots of historians - some who lived in and around the supposed events - and never mention them. Remember - according to the bible - there were MULTITUDES of followers around the christ - he was supposedly known about by Pilate and Herod. And a living god - never bothered to leave behind proof of his existence - when even the pharaohs of Egypt were able to do that! Actually - the catholic church - representing the majority of xtians - already has accepted evolution - and admits that the bible does not have to be believed as actual events. They even accept that the earth obits the sun now too!!!!! All you have to do is send them money - they don't care if you believe the bible or not! |
