Resurrection Appearances

[thephilosopher6]

“After that, He appeared to more than five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.” - 1 Corinthians 15:6

If Paul hadn’t mentioned that event then we would’ve never knew it happened. Just imagine the other things that happened between Easter and the Ascension that we don’t know about…

I never thought of that before. An interesting thing to ponder.

 

[ErraticFaith]

It’s why most attribute it to fantasy and Paul trying to ‘hit a messiah checklist’, by inserting supporting evidence for claims that never actually happened.

Often in scholarship, if you have a reference without supporting testimony elsewhere, it’s credibility is almost zilch. In a similar vein, that’s why the ‘edited’ forgeries of Josephus annoy atheist debaters so much.

 

[SacredHeartBassist]

Can you explain what you mean a bit more. What do you mean about Josephus and scholarship. Are you implying it didn’t happen

 

[undead_rat]

Our present day physical evidence indicates that Jesus’ corpse disappeared from inside of His sealed and guarded tomb. While that that not prove His resurrection, it strongly implies it. If a dead body could just up and vanish into another dimension, then it could also reappear as a living person.
