JUST A THOUGHT - ON THE CONTRADICTIONS OF THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST! THE END...!






Is in the context that Christ did not choose to leave his mortal body behind in the sepulchre, as he rose up to heaven. 

No, his body could not be found in it, which meant that, either he attempted to take it with him to Heaven, or it was taken out of the sepulchre and hidden. 

It being hidden being the more probable explanation. As that would enable the deception of Christ ascending upto Heaven, to be made to have some apparent credibility. 

This, it seems to me, would have been the only reason for the Gospel to  be 'forced' into giving an account of the resurrection. 




In a manner which clearly contradicts  later Biblical message which advises the faithful that they must first shed their mortal, earthly and corruptible bodies.  

Before they can enter the Kingdom of Heaven. 

A point which raises the question as to why it was, that Christ would have attempted to defy this essential principle.  By ascending or attempting to ascend upto Heaven with his borrowed human body? 

Why would he have attempted or executed such a fete? 

When the whole purpose of him assuming human form, was to demonstrate the process by which they, the faithful, could also acquire everlasting life and ascend up to Heaven? 




It would have defied logic, reason.

And then, there is the apparent inference that acquiring eternal or everlasting life, is something which is good and desirable, but, why would that be the case? 

What is it that after-life humans, now in a spiritual form, would hope to achieve? 

Let us imagine a human in the form of a 'spirit.'  What would he/she look like, feel like, taste like, etc? 

How would anybody, apparently other 'spirit' humans, know that they are around. 




Would they, also being 'spirit', be able to see them, touch and feel them? What would they be called; would it still be, 'humans'?

I mean, having escaped the physical and mental, the psychological torment and misery of the world, of being alive, why would any prudent person, be they of a spiritual and/or physical form, want to return, to become alive again?

 Would that not be the height of masochism? Well, it is a state of being which would probably appeal to some people. 

But, I suspect, not to many others, since eternal life must clearly be a punishment, or reality which is definitely worse than not being a live.




And so it seems to me, that, if the fruit of 'sin' is death, then, it is a reward which is less insufferable than the reward of 'redemption', 'eternal life.'

For most people, one life-time ought to be enough, for what is really a gamble, a game of chance on how it will turn out.

So, it is just as well that there is really no evidence that Jesus Christ, or anybody else, did or is, indeed, capable of being resurrected from the dead.
