I’ve asked that question before-it does not diminish the divinity of Jesus to me-and I’ve been called a heretic, gotten blank stares-but at least a few people have said it didn’t change their thinking, either. That makes sense to me-I don’t get why it matters, if you believe in who Jesus is...
It re-writes the Bible for one thing.
My mind also recalls that Da Vinci Code type film where they discover the skeleton of Jesus during an excavation in Jerusalem and one of the priests can't handle it and dives off a building in suicide.
Sure, the Bible says the tomb was empty on the original Easter morning. But it also records that he tarried with his apostles and other close associates for several days before ascending into heaven. Is it not possible that he abandoned his earthly tabernacle and left his remains behind on or about that time?
Yes, the Bible is silent on the subject. But it also doesn't say that he ever took a dump and I'm reasonably sure he did.
