I cannot accept an empty tomb, thousands of years ago, as proof of resurrection.
Why do you squabble?

Stuart, our faith depends upon our acceptance of the empty tomb. It is the very essence of what we believe.

We squabble because, while we are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, we are still human.

1 Corinthians tells us: "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
" - 1 Corinthians 13:11-12.

God has given us his Word to live by. But just as we can read the same posts here on FreeRepublic and have different opinions, different intrepretations, we do the same with the Word of God.

Just as what you know, what you've read, what you've experienced, has formed your opinion of God, we come to different conclusions when we read His Word. That doesn't reflect on His Word, or His Truth. It reflects on us.

Fair enough, it's just that to me, squabbling is negative. To me, there is enough negativity associated with God and religious beliefs.
