The difference between His crucifixion and a horror movie, is that in the end, the horror movie does not have a happy ending. It leaves you even more terrified. BUT with Jesus' death, it only lasted 3days. Then He rose from the dead. Over three hundred people witnessed His resurrection.
Only 300 people? There were (according to Wikipedia) over 600,000 people living in Jerusalem at the time.
Why does the Torah depict that miracles are always performed in front of the entire Jewish nation, but Jesus, through his supposed birth to his supposed death was only witnessed by a handful of elite insiders? It’s almost as if previous writings in the bible are telling us that miracles on the magnitude of determining the fate of our eternal souls are performed in front of everyone of that generation. Why did the rules change so suddenly and without any warning or notice?
It’s almost as if the writer(s) of the bible are warning us that unless an entire generation can vouch for something, then we shouldn’t believe it.
