1. Jesus Him says, a prophet is not without honour but among his own people. The Bible also states earlier that he would be rejected by his own people. Ish 53:3, John 1:11-12, rom 93:30-32, 10:17-21, 11:30-31. I conclude by saying that, Israel unbelief is according to divine arrangement, provided you can go through the scriptures above, they have answered your confusion perfectly.

Samunique:

You just confirmed that the Bible is true, bcs Jesus foretold this events and asked his disciples to flee. He called it, ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION, Matt 24:15-22 pls read

Acehart:


The bold texts tells me these: you are a soldier or you have uncles and aunts in the army and they all tell stores or you are all-knowing as you say “(all) soldiers love telling tales” or you are drenched in Hollywood war movies that you can’t separate real life from moving pictures. (Even Captain Miller in ‘Saving Private Ryan’ didn’t tell stories). Since you believe fictitious characters, why don’t you believe a fictitious Bible?

Be that as it may, the precautions taken at the tomb of the risen Christ consisted of three things - the large 2000kg stone, the Roman seal, and the guard.

1. The Stone

The Bible says that a large stone was rolled in front of the tomb of Jesus. On an average, it would take 100 men to lift 1000 pounds (453kg).

Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away (Matthew 27:59,60).

This stone, not only sealed the tomb, it also would have made it difficult for 300 men to come right in and steal the body.

2. The Roman Seal

The Roman seal was also placed over the tomb.

And they went and made the grave secure, and along with the guard they set a seal on the stone (Matthew 27:66).

The seal was sign of authentication that the tomb was occupied and the power and authority of Rome stood behind the seal. Anyone found breaking the Roman seal would suffer the punishment of an unpleasant death.

3. The Guard

A guard watched Jesus' tomb. This was either the Roman guard or the Jewish temple police.

Pilate said to them, "You have a guard; go, make it as secure as you know how." And they went and made the grave secure, and along with the guard they set a seal on the stone (Matthew 27:65,66).

There is a question as to which one of the two groups was watching over it. The context seems to favor the Roman guard. The Roman guard was a sixteen-man unit that was governed by very strict rules. Each member was responsible for six square feet of space. The guard members could not sit down or lean against anything while they were on duty. If a guard member fell asleep, he was beaten and burned with his own clothes. But he was not the only one executed, the entire sixteen-man guard unit was executed if only one of the members fell asleep while on duty.

You don’t believe the Bible but you believe Soldiers tell stories. Funny.

Please, read the final work of Tacitus and give me your thoughts, omniscient one.

Samunique:

Now, that no. 6 is very childish and laughable

LordReed:


This is funny. I responded to your post without any attack on you but you deemed it fit to respond with puerile condescension then tomorrow the likes of you will say atheists just love to insult. Glad you did anyway so I know not to waste my time with the conversation.

Acehart:


A bruised reed the Lord will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice; he will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth. In his teaching the coastlands will put their hope.” – Isaiah 42:3-4

Acehart:


Yeah, I mean I can't help thinking of when I have for example taking off the the top of the termite hill and I've seen termites in there all busying about building walls, looking after the Queen, caring for the pupae, clearing the nest, all busy and Partizan. Then they're all blind and they haven't the faintest idea that I am there watching what they're doing because they don't have those sense organs which would allow them to know that. I do sometimes feel
that maybe I'm lacking in some sense organ; I don't know whether there's anybody else (up there watching) involved in all this sort of thing and it's a very confident thing to say that are you’re absolutely sure that there's nothing in this world that I don't have the sense organs to appreciate- that would be my position, and Richard I don't that would say (of me), well that's rather feeble that's not being very brave and the human (those who believe there is unseen being) maybe he's got a case.

Sir David Attenborough position on the possibility of the presence of a “God” (on BBC hard talk)

Acehart:


Jesus (Yeshua) is God. He came in bodily form. He lived as a man. He endured this like a man. Anyone who doesn’t believe He came to world, by His Omni-potency, to be a man, does so because He wouldn’t want to believe; by several occurrences in the galaxy and by testimonies of many, the atheist wouldn’t believe. The only “God” the atheist believe is his mind; the only testimony he will believe is the voice of his mind. The doctrine of the atheist is unbelief. Unless the atheist sees the creator of all things in his true form, he would not believe and even if the true form is revealed, his mind would never accept it because two captains can not steer a ship.
