Why Would You Believe It
48 Answers
The New Testament expects us to believe that a man was raised from the dead after been entombed for 3 days.
Why would anyone just believe this?
And if we don't, then we are all doomed to hell?

Thank you naomi :-)
Just as an after thought...
Jesus supposedly spent 3 nights and 3 days in the grave
(He didn't...Friday lunchtime until Sunday morning is not 3 days and definitely not 3 nights!! Do the math)
Crucifixion is a horrible way to die but so are many other ways.
People have suffered far worse!
My own Mother's first husband drowned rescuing her brother (my uncle)
THAT was a sacrifice.
Jesus KNEW that he would be bought back to life again (allegedly)
So what exactly was the sacrifice?

People don’t come back from the dead. That’s life.
erm I think that was the point of the accounts
God promises to give the Messiah long life (literally, length of days), which is a technical phrase sometimes associated with resurrection (see Ps. 21:4; 23:6). In Psalm 17:15, David expresses confidence that God will satisfy him as well with a resurrection
so.... doesnt occur in the OT either.
got it - no idea why I thought resurrection was a theme in the bible.
