He was most likely moved from his tomb before anybody checked to make it seem like he raised from the dead

I believe science more then belief. Even though I do believe there is a God (Something more powerful then us). Other then that, alot of stuff have been proven by science and history that the Bible was altered to make things more story like. Basically many of the events happened, just was exaggerated to make it seem special.

To me, Easter is just another day. Personally, it's nothing really special. I still haven't figure out how this easter bunny thing even came into play with color eggs. What were these people thinking when they started that?

How was he moved, when cesar put two guards out to guard the tomb?..(and if im not mistaken, help me on this sleepingdragon, if you failed your duty as a guard in those days you were killed. So they wanted to guard that temple bad, and not let ANYONE in.)

As for the bunny thing..ive heard one to many stories of how that came about.

Death for any guard involved. You nailed it SSOne. He was seen by thousands after his resurrection, but that is still an issue of "prove it" to anyone who does not believe. There is no way to prove his resurrection any more than one can prove that there is something called "love". But I believe in both.

If he didn't rise from the dead how come all twelve apostles were martyred for their faith. As the saying goes, nobody willingly dies for a lie. On top of that the gospels were written while many of the witnesses to Christ's resurrection were still alive. If some people had been lying about the resurrection then why did these so called witnesses not come forth and tell the "truth"? Too much evidence (not proof) points towards Jesus' resurrection.

I believe,
I follow.

Happy Easter one and all!

I agree that there is tons of proof and that Jesus was dead, buried, and then resurrected, however I cant agree with you, Akoloutheo, on the "nobody willingly dies for a lie" thing. What were the terrorists doing when they crashed into the towers? They were dying for their faith, which infact, is a lie.

Yes, there were a number of people that saw him alive after the resurrection. (It gives the approx number in the Bible.

Thank God we have something to look forward to after we die!

I undersand what you are saying SSOne. The difference is that the terrorists believed what they were doing was right in accordance with their faith. The apostles, if they had not seen Jesus raised, would not have believed. If the body had been stolen by others (ie the Romans) then the apostles would have had nothing to base their faith on. Also the Romans could just produce the body to show that He had not been ressurected.

It was because they did see the risen Lord that they believed. They were witnesses and were willing to die for what they saw to be true. Each man is able to search for the truth and when he finds it he places his faith into it. Some of these truths are not such. Many turn out to be a lie by it is only at the end of your days that you find out. This is what happened to the terrorists did. They believed with their whole hearts that they were working for their god, that a place in heaven was being prepared for them for their sacrifice.

I place my faith and life with Him.
