If Jesus came back to life....what was his sacrifice?

The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

You know what, for the first time I've seen so far, you're actually right, and what's more, you admit your own dilemma. The lying tongue IS only for a moment, but the truth is forever. You spoke for a moment. I cut you with the truth. And now you are silent.

Good to see you understand the situation. Checkmate.

Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lipss, and is a fool.

OK who scared off homocidlefreak, MIN what have you done now!

haha, just caught up in work, but all is well

[Aractus]

Many Christians will say that Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice....the thing is.....he came back to life and supposedly used super human strength to push the boulder blocking his path. Therefore, if he came back to life....what was he sacrificing?

to the forum Sir Freak.

This has been done over and over please go find one of them and read it, I believe most here are tried if this argument.

Yes.... May the 4th be with you. ...

this might be slightly veering off topic, but for those of you that are christian, don't you find it quite.....improbable that there was a man with these powers to cure leprosy, and all these stories of people coming back to life? i mean....stuff like that doesnt happen nowadays, so why believe they happened in the past? especially when people were less aware of how the world works

Nobody... Aren't you paying attention?

Then where did it come from? How did it come into existence?

The point of miracles is that they don't happen every day. Jesus used them as 'signs' to show who he was. People back then were just as aware of how the world worked-- they knew a departure from natural process when they saw one:

Matthew 8:27
The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”

Matthew 9:33
And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”

Matthew 13:54
Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?” they asked.

Matthew 15:31
The people were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame walking and the blind seeing. And they praised the God of Israel.

Matthew 21:20
When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” they asked.

Mark 1:27
The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching—and with authority! He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey him.”

Mark 2:12
He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

Mark 6:2
When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. “Where did this man get these things?” they asked. “What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing?
