RE: Atheists:Can you disprove the resurrection or Jesus' existence?
September 1, 2011 at 9:51 am
Some Christian needs to first explain to me what I'm supposed to disprove.
By this, I mean tell me the story of the resurrection. ...no, no, I mean the WHOLE story, leaving nothing out and being internally consistent with ALL four Gospel accounts plus any references anywhere else in the NT such as in Acts. If the Bible is either God's Word or written under inspiration, I would expect such an important part to be completely accurate.
I'm not asking for proof. I'm just asking for it all to be tied together in one consistent story, leaving no detail offered in the NT out.
For example, when Mary visited the tomb, was it before dawn or after? Was the stone already rolled away or did an angel come down and roll it away before them? How many angels did they see? Were they afraid or joyous? These are all pretty basic details I'd expect to remain consistent in any true story.
And now a bit of humor that highlights the problem, I give you a link to "Rev" Brendan Powell Smith and his "brick testament"
