when jesus rose from the grave 3 days after his death, he supposedly appeared before 500 people. as a christian do you believe that was a symbolic or literal event?

The resurrection was metaphorical too, retard hillbillies don't have media literacy, episcopalians represent

literal, just as literal as the miracles Jesus performed. We stopped being able to perform miracles because the apostles were all martyred. (parable of the sower) God sows faith in the earth and something comes along and takes/chokes the life out of people's faith. That is why God has blessed the USA, we allow people to practice their faith, now we are being slowly cooked and our faith is dying. Jesus said he would come back when the world was without faith, that is one of the signs of the apocalypse.

Let us forever clarify the concept of the resurrection of Jesus by making the following statements:

1. His material or physical body was not a part of the resurrected personality. When Jesus came forth from the tomb, his body of flesh remained undisturbed in the sepulchre. He emerged from the burial tomb without moving the stones before the entrance and without disturbing the seals of Pilate.

2. He did not emerge from the tomb as a spirit nor as Michael of Nebadon; he did not appear in the form of the Creator Sovereign, such as he had had before his incarnation in the likeness of mortal flesh on Urantia.

3. He did come forth from this tomb of Joseph in the very likeness of the morontia personalities of those who, as resurrected morontia ascendant beings, emerge from the resurrection halls of the first mansion world of this local system of Satania. And the presence of the Michael memorial in the center of the vast court of the resurrection halls of mansonia number one leads us to conjecture that the Master’s resurrection on Urantia was in some way fostered on this, the first of the system mansion worlds.

His wiki page says he's in a polygamous relationship and was accused of raping people at atheist conventions. Also
>one book says thing so all other historical literature is wrong
Wasn't even a good argument to begin with. I've seen you post this many times. It's time to stop.

>there's no respected archeologists or historians that doubt he existed
Yeah none whatsoever, apart from all the historians who DO doubt he existed, none of whom you've ever read because, let's be honest with each other here anon, you don't read books do you

Those verses were added way later. Original version he went in tomb and disappeared

>>510631068
Mankind is slow to perceive that, in all that is personal, matter is the skeleton of morontia, and that both are the reflected shadow of enduring spirit reality. How long before you will regard time as the moving image of eternity and space as the fleeting shadow of Paradise realities?

As far as we can judge, no creature of this universe nor any personality from another universe had anything to do with this morontia resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. On Friday he laid down his life as a mortal of the realm; on Sunday morning he took it up again as a morontia being of the system of Satania in Norlatiadek. There is much about the resurrection of Jesus which we do not understand. But we know that it occurred as we have stated and at about the time indicated. We can also record that all known phenomena associated with this mortal transit, or morontia resurrection, occurred right there in Joseph’s new tomb, where the mortal material remains of Jesus lay wrapped in burial cloths.

Jesus wasn't even crucified

Like I said, a number of other historians have written the same thing, so it's irrelevant that Carrier is a fucking pinko

Even as a kid in the 70s I realized that the Jesus story was about the soltices. Rebirth in spring and so on.

>>510629895 (OP)
It’s literal. He interacted with people.

Well your stupid kid ass was WRONG

it's all fake buddy

Christians not only stole pagan holidays (and rituals), but many stories surrounding Jesus were also copied from other religions

I completely lost any faith In Jesus once I learned that he was a Jew.

>>510632932
I was only able to revert after being red pilled on the jews
Either grow up or actually go look at theology and history

>>510633091
What theology? Jewish theology? Like the torah and tanakh? Why would i subscribe to jewish fairy tales?

Literal. If you accept that Jesus Christ was God there’s no reason to believe this event didn’t literally happen.

Sounds like bullshit to me. He was lynched by his fellow jews and that was the end of him.

You aren’t even at the level of a midwit. You are somewhere below brainlet. A true “mong”, as they say.

Do you understand Jesus was a jew in the sense that His legal right can be traced back to Jacob and not in the sense of a "talmud-observer"?

Evoluntionists hypothesized that millions upon millions of years ago a primordial sludge of random chemicals was swirling around, somehow synthesized itself into proteins, and then steadily changed its form to fit what we have in the present day.
Despite the amount of cope from archeologists and anthropologists, we have yet to find some natural missing link in this supposed evolutionary chain that caused our brains to grow exponentially while also giving us the concept of abstract thought.
>trust the science
I came to the belief in God through logic. Because no matter how much someone moves the goalpost of what came from where and when, you eventually get back to an uncreated force that was the catalyst for this world/universe/reality we live in. That uncreated force can aptly be referred to as God.
As for Christ, is it possible for God to split off a part of itself/Himself that can experience a mortal existence among its/His creation? Absolutely, in the Christian worldview, because through God, all things are possible. I personally accept Christ as God incarnate in flesh, sent to Earth to preach and establish His ministry, and to suffer and die for our shortcomings as mortal beings in order to establish a new covenant with those that believe in Him. Why? Because if this was all there is and the evolutionists are right, then what the fuck is the point?

>blah blah blah
The talmud, Bible, and Quran are all based on the same JEWISH abrahamic bullshit you duplicious cunt

Man tends to identify the urge to be self-serving with his ego—himself. In contrast he is inclined to identify the will to be altruistic with some influence outside himself—God. And indeed is such a judgment right, for all such nonself desires do actually have their origin in the leadings of the indwelling Thought Adjuster, and this Adjuster is a fragment of God. The impulse of the spirit Monitor is realized in human consciousness as the urge to be altruistic, fellow-creature minded. At least this is the early and fundamental experience of the child mind. When the growing child fails of personality unification, the altruistic drive may become so overdeveloped as to work serious injury to the welfare of the self. A misguided conscience can become responsible for much conflict, worry, sorrow, and no end of human unhappiness.

only paul makes this specific claim and he was a false teacher. Listen to Jesus’ words alone for wisdom .
