Jesus appeared to his deciples after he rose. Why didn’t he appear to the pharisees and the unbelivers to prove he was the SON OF GOD ?
Because they would not have believed it was HIM. Even His disciples had trouble accepting HE was back alive (e.g. Emmaus). And these were men who knew HIM closely.Jesus appeared to his deciples after he rose. Why didn’t he appear to the pharisees and the unbelivers to prove he was the SON OF GOD ?
He may have. Perhaps? But without faith, they would not have recognized Him.Jesus appeared to his deciples after he rose. Why didn’t he appear to the pharisees and the unbelivers to prove he was the SON OF GOD ?
[SIGN]BINGO!!![/SIGN]From Luke Chapter 16:27 and following, Lazarus and the rich man in torrment:
The rich man said, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father’s house,
for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they too come to this place of torment.’ But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’ He said, ‘Oh no, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’ Then Abraham said, ‘If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone should rise from the dead.’"
