The point is, apart from actual evidence of a man being crucified, confirmed dead, and then coming back to life, all you have are unsupportable, unverifiable claims, for which you expect others to accept on faith, which is the very definition of "gullible."

So, why believe it?

I already covered this in multiple posts. There was an investigation and it was recorded in Matthew. You even quoted the very verse that showed there was an investigation in post#273.

Listen. I will explain this as clearly as humanly possible:

The investigation report said that a supernatural event occurred. Therefore the results of the report are in question. There is literally no rational explanation for what occurred, so you have to investigate again. What part of this do you not understand?

I explained all this in the post you are quoting. Didn’t you read it? I explained that yes there was an investigation and it would be moronic to perform a second investigation. Read the post again and stop playing games.

So you are saying that they were satisfied with having no rational explanation at all?


That's rich coming from you. Chastising me for not reading Matthew 28, and then you are confused as to what I am referring to with the miracle being reported. You were relying upon your own casual recollection of the story, thinking the miracle was the resurrection, instead of READING the text and seeing what the miracle was (the appearance of an angel). If you bothered to read the text, you'd understand what the miracle was. You then attack me, calling me stupid, saying I need to read the text, when the reality is that you clearly did not read it. Do you realize what this makes you look like?


I don't care about your question. You think it is moronic to investigate an irrational report. You chastise me for not reading the gospel account when in fact you were the one who did not. Conversation with a wall would be more productive.

This thread is about the resurrection miracle.

No, it's about why there was no investigation. OK, OK, so you claim that the guards looked in the tomb and saw it was empty (do you actually have evidence for this?). The fact is that their report is fantastical, and needs to be investigated. Again, what part of this do you not understand?

I took your remark “Even more bizarre is the thought that the pharisees actually did believe the guards, that they did believe a miracle occurred” to mean the miracle of the resurrection.

Well, had you bothered to read Matthew 28, you'd see that it clearly states that the guards saw the angel, were afraid, fled, and told the pharisees what happened. You have absolutely no excuse for your ignorance.

I should have worded it to pinpoint that miracle instead I simply said miracles and you responded with the verses that recorded the event where the guards saw the angel.

No, you said that no miracle occurred. You were 100% wrong and it was purely because you did not bother to read the very text that you criticized me for not reading. Are you getting the picture?

That passage in Matthew does not say that the guards or the chief priest believed that Jesus rose from the dead.

I see you've now bothered to read it and you've caught up to the conversation. I've been waiting.

So yes it was because I worded it wrong and yes I did, and have read many times, all four gospel accounts of the resurrection story.

No, no, no, you didn't word it wrong. Your understanding of the resurrection story was wrong because you hadn't bothered to read it lately. You said there was an earthquake, the guards looked in the tomb and saw it was empty, and then reported this to the pharisees. You were quite clear that nothing supernatural happened, and this is why you kept claiming that a second investigation would be moronic. It was not just wording it wrong.

I was the one wording things wrong when I kept insisting that there needed to be an investigation after Easter Sunday. I tacitly assumed that travel took a while in those days, but in any event there needed to be a second visit to the tomb to investigate the supernatural claims by the guards. Because it is quite clear that the pharisees were not interested in something fortunate happening to Jesus, so if they are told that the most fortunate thing imaginable happened to him but the explanation isn't rational, then I am rational in saying that they would want to investigate it.

So what you need to do is convey to me that you understand there should have been a second investigation. If you don't understand this, then what I've said has gone over your head. We can get into the details of whether or not there was an unrecorded investigation later, but right now it's on you to understand that a second investigation would be rational, not moronic.


Once again, this investigation would not be satisfactory because it says that supernatural events took place. Why not maybe just go take a second look? You know, in case the guards are lying, incompetent, under the influence, or some combination thereof?


Actually, if you want to be technical, the guards never did look inside the tomb. The "evidence" you are talking about? Your own claims that the guards looked inside the tomb and saw it was empty. May very well have happened, but I doubt it since they were so terrified of the angel. Also there's this small issue of how Matthew 28 does not mention that they looked inside, but I wouldn't expect you to know about this detail since you skimmed the chapter at best.


Personal attacks? From someone like you? You've chastised me for not reading Matthew 28, when you clearly did not because you are unaware of events that did occur and you fabricate events that did not occur. You claim that certain things go over my head, yet you claim that a "second" investigation of the empty tomb would be moronic. So if we go by the established pattern, it's quite clear that when you say those things about me you're referring to yourself.

If it doesn’t matter when the investigation took place as he states in post#302 then his question has been answered. There was an investigation.

Where? When? Show me the verse.

See what I did there - it's a cheap tactic to make you read Matthew 28. I have to stoop that low just to get you to read it.

But, as you suggest, because the chief priest didn’t call in the forensic scientists then his argument must be the investigation performed by the guards posted at the sepulcher is null and void.

Forensic scientists. So hilarious. Yes, because back then no one was qualified to look at blood and be able to tell if a bloody body was dragged along the floor or if there are bloody footprints of bare feet.


The OP has unsupportable, unverifiable claims. Like the claim that the guards looked inside the tomb, or the claim that no supernatural event was reported to the pharisees.

Just keep digging deeper...




In conclusion, you summarize by saying that no supernatural event occurred and that the guards looked inside the tomb. I'm not entirely sure if you've been correct about a single detail.

How is that contributing to this thread? I found your post to be offensive and childish.

I'm sorry you find my statements offensive, but I have no control over your feelings. But it does come down to that, doesn't it?

P.S., please read my sig.

You were relying upon your own casual recollection of the story, thinking the miracle was the resurrection, instead of READING the text and seeing what the miracle was (the appearance of an angel).
No I was relying on the topic of this thread which is about an investigation in the miracle of the resurrection. This has nothing to do about any recollection of the accounts written in Matthew.

You think it is moronic to investigate an irrational report.
I never said that. You have now completely changed your argument from no investigation to an irrational report.

So you are saying that they were satisfied with having no rational explanation at all?
Never said that either. It is your unsubstantiated opinion that there was an irrational explanation. So what we have here is a strawman fallacy. When you have no argument you twist the opponents comments and argue that.

OK, OK, so you claim that the guards looked in the tomb and saw it was empty (do you actually have evidence for this?). The fact is that their report is fantastical, and needs to be investigated. Again, what part of this do you not understand?
I understand that you now realize you do not have an argument so you have changed course. I covered the reasons for concluding that the guards had to investigate the sepulcher in detail at least three times.

Well, had you bothered to read Matthew 28, you'd see that it clearly states that the guards saw the angel, were afraid, fled, and told the pharisees what happened. You have absolutely no excuse for your ignorance.
I did see that but as I already explained, and you wish to ignore because you think it supports your view that I am ignorant, is that I was focusing on the topic of this thread which is the investigation of the resurrection miracle. The guards would not have known that Jesus was resurrected because he did not appear to them so how would they report that to the priest? All they knew was that the body was missing.

You were quite clear that nothing supernatural happened, and this is why you kept claiming that a second investigation would be moronic.
I most certainly did not say nothing supernatural happened. This is an outright lie. I posted the guards action to prove the point that they investigated the sepulcher after the stone was rolled away. This thread is not about whether other miracles happened at all so I had no reason to address them.

So if we go by the established pattern, it's quite clear that when you say those things about me you're referring to yourself.
Seriously?

Forensic scientists. So hilarious. Yes, because back then no one was qualified to look at blood and be able to tell if a bloody body was dragged along the floor or if there are bloody footprints of bare feet.
I’m sure the guards would have been able to tell if there was bloody foot prints or drag marks. Since it has been established, and ignored by you, that the guards would have to have gone inside the sepulcher in order to report that the body was gone what exactly would a second investigation accomplish? Had there been blood evidence then they would have reported that to the priest since it says they reported all that was done.

The OP has unsupportable, unverifiable claims. Like the claim that the guards looked inside the tomb, or the claim that no supernatural event was reported to the pharisees.
Yes, the guards had to look inside the tomb to report to the chief priest that the body was missing. I clearly showed that the guards reported “all” that had happened. The rest of your argument is a strawman; not my position whatsoever.

Once again, this investigation would not be satisfactory because it says that supernatural events took place.
Not once again, you have never stated until your last post#347 that an investigation even took place at all. It has always been your position that no investigation took place; at all.

In conclusion, you summarize by saying that no supernatural event occurred and that the guards looked inside the tomb. I'm not entirely sure if you've been correct about a single detail.
Nope I am not saying no supernatural event took place, never said that and never indicated that. This is your attempt to create a strawman because you finally realized you have no legitimate argument to support your slippery slope argument.

Answer my question then, how does that contribute to this thread. You must have me confused with someone who cares whether you accept anything on faith or not. I have never indicated such and could care less what you believe or accept. I am dealing with the thread via the data presented. The OP quite clearly allows evidence from the Bible. Its offensive and you posted it to be offensive because you have nothing else to contribute to this thread.

So God is saying that he won't intervene for a rape victim because Adam ate forbidden fruit a few thousand years before the woman was born?
How many rapes have never occurred because He did intervene?

Other than rational thoughts and parsimonious explanations, you're correct.

Other than rational thoughts and parsimonious explanations, you're correct.
You arrive at your belief there is no God the same way as people who embrace their religion's belief there is a God; without proof. You can't prove there is no God yet you debate the issue. How is that rational? Your position is no different.

Can you answer the question on how your post contributes to the OP or not?
