Thus proving the bible records 100's of witnesses to the resurrected Christ.[/quoe]
I did not ask for an eyewitness to the resurrectED "Christ;" I asked for an eyewitness of Jesus at the act of resurrection. You already gave me the reply that's impossible. Why return to the same issue over and over again?
Is that you agreeing to the 100's of eyewitnesses of the resurrectED Christ but then arguing that none of them saw Him "BEING resurrected" they only saw the result - the resurrected Christ?
Read Acts 1:1-3. Luke said that Jesus appeared for 40 days after his passion aka sufferings. To appear after one's passion or suffering is no evidence even that he died, let alone that he resurrected. Use Logic!
OR are you arguing that Christ can not be resurrected - if they only see the resurected Christ - they have to actually watch him come out of the tomb or else he is still dead?
Jesus could not resurrect because he was a Jew and, according to his gospel which was the Tanach, once dead, no one can ever return from the grave. Read II Samuel 12:23; Psalm 49:12; Isaiah 26:14; Job 7:9; etc.
I have also shown many eyewitnesses to the public execution and death of Christ. Thursday at 8:28 AM #10
Public execution yes, but sure death, there was no eyewitnesses. When Joseph of Arimathea requested from Pilate to remove Jesus from the cross to bury him, Pilate could not believe he had died so soon; less than 3 hours when, according to Josephus, Jews would remain on the cross, sometimes for up to 4 days. From his book "Wars of the Jews." (Gospel of Mark.)
If it is your argument that the resurrected Christ - was merely seen and witnessed but that coming out of the grave was not also witnessed by the disciples - only that they witnessed the placing in the tomb of the dead body and witnessed an empty tomb 3 days later with the stone rolled away and all roman guards gone - that is fine.
The tomb was emptied about 2 hours later when Joseph laid Jesus' body to rest and went for Nicodemus to remove Jesus elsewhere they could mend Jesus' wounds as Nicodemus had come with about 100 pounds of medication.
