They believed it to be true and no they were not justified.
If the disciples knew that Jesus had not been raised then why would they die? They were done and afraid after the death of Jesus. No one excepted Him to come back to life even though He told them that he would.
Just checking to see if you put me on ignore, since I answered that question numerous times (and in several threads). Others have also answered you.
Are you just refusing to see what we respond to you with?
If so, why ask us?
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
