unit 9 risen Flashcards
what is the swoon theory
jesus never really died on the cross, he fainted and the soldiers thought he was dead. a cold blast of air revived him when he was in the tomb, but he later died of his injuries.
what is the wrong tomb theory
the three women going to visit Jesus’ tomb got confused and went to the wrong one and began falsely proclaiming the resurrection
what is the theft theory
the disciples stole jesus’ body
what is the visionary and legendary development theories
the disciples recieved visions from jesus and began believeing they actually happened, and it became a ‘legend’. (also the most believable of the theories)
jesus crucifixion around 30 A.D.
(give details about why this is one point that suggests the ressurection actually happened)
no scholar denies jesus’ exsistence or crucifixion, it is inconcievable jesus didn’t die on the cross (the romans were experts at what they did)
jesus was buried in the tomb of joseph of arimathea (give details about why this is one point that suggests the ressurection actually happened)
the gospels affirm that jesus was buried in jospeh of arimetheas tomb, there is no reason the church would add this into a fake story, joesph of arimethea was a member of the sandhedring, condemning jesus to die.
the tomb was discovered empty on the third day (give details about why this is one point that suggests the ressurection actually happened)
all gospels confirm that women witnessed the empty tomb, back then, women werent reliable witnesses, the church wouldn’t add this into a fake story, the disciples wouldn’t have preached the gospel in jerusalem
many credible witnesses saw jesus alive (give details about why this is one point that suggests the ressurection actually happened)
the women saw jesus alive, and the church wouldn’t have fabricated a story with them as witnesses, unless it was true. travelers from jerusalem encountered jesus on the road to erimithea
the transformed lives of the apostles (give details about why this is one point that suggests the ressurection actually happened)
the extrodinary change in jerusalem, the resurection is a reasonable explanation from their radical change. something big happened, that changed their thinking and teachings, it is reasonable to assume it was from ecountering the resurected jesus
