He is alive ! Jesus King of Kings

BAAAAAHAAAAAAAA BAAAAAAHAAAAAAAA

SHEEP, WAKE UP AND FOLLOW NO FALSE IDOLS BE A TRUE HUMAN AND THINK FOR YOURSELF.

If Jesus did not actually rise from the dead, why did the disciples go from frightened, timid followers of Jesus before his death, to bold evangelists willing to die preaching his resurrection if they just really made the whole thing up and he was still dead? Remember, before Jesus was crucified, the disciples were, for the most part, cowards. Peter denied even knowing Jesus 3 times before the crucifixion. What event changed them from cowards to courageous? Answer: They must have actually seen the risen Jesus.

Why were the disciples willing to be tortured and killed for a known lie? You don’t need a degree in human psychology to know that people do not die for a cause they know to be false. People do certainly die for false beliefs all the time, but they think they are dying for the truth. If the disciples faked the resurrection, they would know Christianity is a lie. History records they were tortured and killed for their faith, and not one of them said, under torture “okay, okay, we made the whole thing up”? Why is that? Answer: They must have actually seen the risen Jesus.

First I was afraid, I was petrified....

Why would they make up the resurrection story if Jesus turned out to be a fraud? Remember, Jesus told them he would rise after 3 days. If he was still dead on day four, that means he wasn’t who he claimed he was, he wasn’t the Messiah and certainly wasn’t God after all, so why would the disciples worship a dead guy who lied to them and was exposed as a fraud? Answer: They must have actually seen the risen Jesus.

("BAAAAAHAAAAAAAA BAAAAAAHAAAAAAAA")

Sheep got out 10 4
'straps on gat and chaps'
'rides out into the sunset to wrangle sheep thats singing out o tune'

But people will die for a cause that's false but they believe to be true.

What was their motive? Lies or deceptions are typically done for some selfish motive. Preaching the resurrection of Jesus would not bring them wealth, fame, status or popularity. It would only cause them to be hated, scorned, persecuted, excommunicated, imprisoned, exiled, beheaded, tortured and crucified, as history records, so again, what could possibly be their motive? Just to save face? That’s certainly not logical. No one is going to go through what the disciples went through just because they’re too embarrassed to say “I guess we were wrong”, so what was their motive? Answer: It was the TRUTH. They must have actually seen the risen Jesus.

yayyyyyyyy

How do the disciples, 12 ordinary people pull off such a hoax? Remember, this “hoax” would trigger thousands of skeptics per day to convert to following their scam as well as redirect the entire world to even eventually change their calendars and establish their hoax character, Jesus as the best known religious figure in all of humanity. How could they pull something like this off without ever getting exposed, offering a death bed confession or even admitting it was a hoax under torture? Answer: It must not be a hoax. They must have actually seen the risen Jesus.

Why would thousands of people immediately convert if Jesus didn’t actually rise from the dead? Think about it. History records that thousands upon thousands were instantly and immediately mass converting to be followers of Jesus, as many as 3000 in a day. It is recorded that after the crucifixion, Jesus appeared alive over a span of 40 days and to “500 brethren”. (Back then, only men were counted in crowd totals, so factoring in women and children, Jesus most likely appeared to safely 1500 to 2000 people over 40 days). If that many people saw Jesus alive, it would explain how so many were converting because even the most hardened skeptics would have crowds and crowds of former skeptics saying “yes, it’s true, we all have seen him too”, but if no one saw him alive and the crowds had only the words of the disciples to go by, why would thousands convert? Remember, the disciples were preaching to many who didn’t want to believe Jesus was the Messiah, so what words could they speak to hostile crowds to convince them Jesus really did rise from the dead? “Trust us”? That might convince some of the disciple’s closest friends, but not thousands upon thousands of skeptics. So why did thousands convert? Answer: Crowds must have actually seen the risen Jesus.

He is Lord.

Why did the disciples make themselves look bad in the Gospels? Think about it, if you were going to make up a story, wouldn’t you present yourself in somewhat of a positive light? The disciples painted themselves as sniveling cowards lacking in faith. Why? Answer: They must have been telling the truth.

How did Saul of Tarsus, the chief persecutor of Christians convert to become the Apostle Paul, the chief follower of Jesus if he didn’t really have an encounter with a risen Jesus? Logically, if Jesus didn’t really rise from the dead, Saul would just gloat in his victory, exposing Jesus as a fraud who couldn’t conquer death after all, so what event could have caused him to convert? Answer: He must have actually encountered the risen Jesus as recorded.

How could the disciples even steal the body in the first place? The body was encased in a tomb with a 24 hour watch by Roman guards trained to kill. The punishment for breaking a Roman grave seal, or attempting to steal a body or overpowering a Roman soldier was death, so how did timid, cowardly disciples muster up the courage to try this? And as stated before, for what motive? That’s a big risk for absolutely no payoff. Some will say “maybe the guard was asleep”. First, dereliction of duty brought death to a Roman soldier, so I doubt they would “fall asleep” and secondly, the stone covering the tomb weighed 2 tons and was rolled into a stone groove which would have been flush against the stone opening of the grave. Think about how loud a 2 ton stone scraping against stone would be as several disciples tried to move it. I don’t think Rip Van Winkle could sleep through that, so, how could the disciples have stolen the body? Answer, they didn’t. Jesus actually rose from the dead.

So all those early witnesses who were set alight and used as street lamps so the romans could see in the dark . What was their cause ?. Or the ones thrown into the arena. What was their cause about as the wild animals munched on them. They were eyewitnesses right, could have shut up about the risen Messiah and gone about their daily lives.

You had to click on this thread to tell us that?

There is nothing fabricated about the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

If you received the Holy Spirit of God through belief in Jesus and repentance you would understand why people call it "Being Born Again". No matter how lively you thought you were before having It with you, in you, around you..... after receiving it you are finally Alive. God pours his Living Spirit into you, and only after you have it do you understand how and why you were Dead before.

It changes you in a moment when you receive it. You aren't going to find it under a microscope, in your philosophical wonderings, with drugs, on television, in the arms of a lover or through any other name under heaven apart from Jesus (Or Yeshua if you prefer).

You don't KNOW because you haven't Received it. Only faith can bring you to it. You don't get the Holy Spirit first as a gift to bring you TO faith; Faith is First. And only then you will know Christ is real and so is God. It's undeniable to those who have the Spirit in them.

It doesn't make them suddenly saints, geniuses or all prophets of the Lord - there can be periods of not knowing how to handle themselves properly once touched by the Grace of the Creator. But it does make them forgiven, and it does intend to work itself out in them to eventually be on the proper narrow path.

God bless you, because I KNOW to be so very mocking this grace and never landed on you and that is a tragedy. We are so close to His return, so close. Ask Jesus to help you and come into your heart with sincerity. There is not much time life but I PROMISE YOU - you will finally KNOW Him and that's it's all true - he's real! And there is just so much more to life than whatever you have now.

His disciples remembered that the scripture says, "My devotion to your house, O God, burns in me like a fire."

The Jewish authorities came back at him with a question, "What miracle can you perform to show us that you have the right to do this?"

Jesus answered, "Tear down this Temple, and in three days I will build it again." "Are you going to build it again in three days?" they asked him. "It has taken forty-six years to build this Temple!"

But the temple Jesus was speaking about was his body. So when he was raised from death, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and what Jesus had said.
(John 2:17-22)

funny picture lol

And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the lord descended from heaven
and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it.

His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.

And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.

But the angel answered and said to the women,
"Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.

"He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

"And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead,
and indeed He is going before you into galilee there you will see Him.
Behold, I have told you."
MATTHEW 28:2-7
:emt:


....just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father,
we too may live a new life.

For if we have been united with Him in a death like His,
we will certainly also be united with Him in a resurrection like His.

For we know that our old self was crucified with Him
so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with,
that we should no longer be slaves to sin—because anyone
who has died has been set free from sin.

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him.
For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead,
He cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over Him.

The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God.
Romans 6: 4-10

:hj9:

Sure there isn't......
Now be a good boy and say your prayers otherwise you'll go to hell.

Except none of these records you speak of were actually recorded at the time of the supposed resurrection. The story of jesus was written long after he was dead.

Praise The Lord. He has risen.

What the shite is hell anyways? Who told you there is a hell?
Let's get on with it. Who told you this nonsense?
Don't turtle

He is risen...Yes indeed....King of kings and Lord of lords...
