Jesus' resurrection was prophesized?
#1
Jesus' resurrection was prophesized?
A member on this forum recently said: Those who saw the resurrected Jesus, saw prophecy fulfilled.

Which is, in best case, debatable because you can go back and say that the Bible said anything you want.

Look at it this way: if Jesus's resurrection was clearly prophesized in the Bible long time before Jesus was born, then, when he was in the grave, you would expect hundreds of people waiting outside for the famous prophecy to be fulfilled, but no.

Even the gospels claim that Jesus' resurrection was discovered by a woman (or group of women) who happened to be there.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
