Matthew 27:52 Destroys Every Creditability Of The Book Of Matthew. by Swissh: 1:30pm On Aug 15, 2019
Matthew 27:52 quite literally claims that MANY saints were raised from the dead immediately following the death of Jesus, that their graves opened, and that they walked around in the Holy City and appeared to MANY . This is an outrageous claim and if such a thing happened we would expect multiple independent confirmations. As it is, not even the other Gospels support this occurrence. Either the author of Matthew completely fabricated this story to fulfill some OT prophecies, every single record of the event was hunted down and destroyed, or God use a Men-in-Black memory wiping device to make everyone in Jerusalem forget it happened at all. That Matthew asserts this as a factual occurence (I have absolutely no idea how this could be construed as anything other than Matthew being literal) in spite of absolutely 0 supporting evidence, whether secular or Christian, is ridiculous. If Matthew was willing to spin such a humongous lie and present it as truth, why should we take it seriously? As an extension of Christian dogma that the each of the Gospels are an accurate representation of Jesus' life and the authors were guided by the Holy Spirit, why should we take ANY of them seriously in light of the obvious falsehood in Matthew?
At this point my theory isn't that the authors of the Gospels were mistaken, but that they are actually just liars. Its too deliberate to be simple mistakes.

How come only two people among the gospels gave an account of the birth of Christ.
And their accounts contradicts each other.
Could someone clear me on this one?

is not their fault they only know how to slam their head on the ground so that they won't be able to reason with their head to see the truth within their religion enclave , they can be easily manipulated to carry out dastard activities like wrapping dynamite in the waist.

You're certainly welcome to your own beliefs about whatever you please. I'm only going to straighten out what you have quoted that passage to say.

The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many.
Matthew 27:53-53 ESV

First, this happened after the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus from the Dead.

Second, this was a resuscitation of believers who had died around that time, just like the resuscitation of the previously dead Lazarus.

As to your argument, in Matthew 28:11-15, it is seen that the priests and the Sanhedrin went to incredible lengths to counter the truth of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Consider also their plot to kill Lazarus because people believed in Jesus because he was raised from the dead by Him (see John 12:10-11). If these things are true (and they are), it only follows that the rulers of the Jews would go to lengths to try to obscure the coming back to life of these contemporaries of theirs.

JESUS CHRIST IS LORD FOREVER...

JESUS CHRIST WHILE ON EARTH Raised Various Dead men and women, Healed all sicknesses of all kind, fed multitudes with little food, Walked on the sea, Calmed the sea and did all Manners of things that were unbelievable and incredible..

HIS Resurrection making others to Rise should be a little thing..

Prophet Elisha , A Prophet of GOD was dead and buried. A man who died and was about to be buried was dropped in the place Were Prophet Elisha was buried, due to a kind of Confusion. The dead man rose up immediately his body Touched the bones of Elisha..

If all these happened , then it's an insult or a lack of understanding to Question what happened at the Resurrection of JESUS CHRIST

Bible is a book of fairy tales. It has no contribution to science and technology whatsoever. Most of those "miracle" works done by Jesus in the bible can't be replicated today by his so called followers. If those miracles were abound today like how it was in the bible, they don't need to waste their time, gallivanting the streets, knocking on our doors, sharing flyers, etc to preach to us. Just do like Jesus did, whenever u meet a sinner, either perform a miracle or accurately prophesy to him, before preaching; and watch crowd full your churches. But what do I know, it can't happen because bible stories na scam
