You can’t answer my questions, and I can’t answer yours the way each of us wants, because each of our beliefs are relative to something different. That’s the way it’s always been and probably will be.

I think the belief that a man has risen from the dead, is what trumps all other religious beliefs. Everyone knows death, and to have a figurehead that can beat death, that’s a biggy. Can’t be topped so far.

There are several stories of persons who died and were raised again to life, even in the Tanakh/Old Testament. The difference with the resurrection of Jesus centers on Whom He IS, how He told many before His death that He would raise Himself in three days following His death, and what He did following His resurrection. It is written in scripture that death could not hold Him. He IS alive forever more ... as best we can tell, all the other ones raised from death of their body eventually died int heir bodies, whereas Jesus ascended and is still alive as our Priest forever, making intercession for us in the Holy of Holies.

Here's another one,,, what other world religion has their GOD that humble himself, leave heaven ( even though, by all rights, he didn't have to ) come to Earth to dwell and live with sinful mankind, and then ? the ultimate sacrifice, gave up his very own life to save us ? I find NO OTHER religion that can claim this..... however ? many who are not Christians like to say that GOD IS LOVE.... strange ? isn't it ?
