For one, the body might not have made it to the tomb because the Romans just decided to pitch it instead of handing it over to Joseph of Aramathea. It could have been stolen by someone who wasn't a follower. It could have been stolen by a minor follower who didn't tell anyone else.
Or maybe it's just a story. Or 4 stories that differ from each other wildly, especially when we get to the important part (the ending).
That's ok 'S-Phinxter' Get? Pinkster/sphincter=S-Phinkster
Ummm...I think I broke Drich, you guys. My bad.
Quote:There's a problem with your objection. The Prophesy Christ himself uttered before is death concerning his resurrection.
A missing body would indicate a resurrected Christ. A contained body, say one placed in a cave/tomb with a big rock and a roman seal with guards would tend to undermine any claims of resurrection as the romans would be able to produce a body on demand.
Really, bro? You're telling me that because Jesus says (in this story of yours) that his tomb would be empty, then later on (in the same story) he dies and his tomb is found empty, that means the story is true and he really rose from the dead?
Gosh...how could Jesus possibly have predicted that? It's almost as if the author already knew the ending of the story...
That argument is entirely circular, by the way. A story that has consistent internal details can still be fiction. To establish it as nonfiction, you'd need evidence to corroborate the story itself.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
