The writer of Mark indicated that the resurrected Christ was going before Peter and the Disciples, in verse 8. Indicating that writer acknowledged the disciples encounter with the resurrected Christ. He chose not to narrate this event, and closes with the Man telling the women this, and the women being terrified of reporting this encounter.

A strong enough case for who? It’s a strong enough case for me to believe it, but the fact it’s not a strong enough case for you to believe is not really my problem is it? You probably don’t believe a variety of things I strongly do believe, but that doesn’t change anything for me.
I can only say why I strongly believe something. And unless you have some strong enough basis for me to consider other ways, than I’ll continue to believe what I do.
Quote:Um, Ellen G. White followed on from Miller by spiritualizing what he said, exactly how Jesus' second coming ended up being spiritualized by the early church ...
There’s no spiritualized version of the Miller’s failed end time predication date, that’s a part of the SDA churches beliefs. The SDA church has no official position on anything concerning that failed prophecy date. You won’t find any mention of Miller on their official site either. The may have kept some parts of Miller’s views, via Ellen G White, but the spiritualized version of Oct 22, 1844 isn’t one of them.
