JESUS’ BURIAL BY JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA

JESUS’ BURIAL BY JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA

Is there any evidence for the resurrection?
Are the gospel accounts of  the death and burial of Jesus by Joseph of Arimathea accurate?

Although all four Biblical gospels report Jesus’ burial by Joseph of Arimathea (Matthew 27:57-61; Mark 15:42:47; Luke 23:50-56; John 19:38-42), there are some skeptics and critics, such as the currently prominent agnostic Biblical “scholar” Bart Ehrman, who deny this fact. Experts point out that the more independent witnesses reports of an event that are available, the more likely the complete, composite report is true. Matthew and John were disciples of Jesus at the time of his execution, and its aftermath. So was Peter, who used Mark as his writer of the second Biblical gospel. Luke was familiar with “eyewitness reports circulating . . . from the early disciples,” and says, “having carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I also decided to write an accurate account” (Luke 1:1-3 NLT). So Luke’s gospel was based on accurate eyewitness accounts. read more

HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN GOD?

    Has Anyone Seen God??

Some people today say they have seen God. Preachers teach that people in the Bible saw God. Is this true? What does the Bible say?

“The Son is the image of the invisible God”—Colossians 1:15 NIV

“To the King eternal, immortal, invisible”—1 Timothy 1:17 NIV

The Bible says that Almighty God is invisible. What is invisible cannot be seen by human eyes. He has always been “invisible”.  “I, Yahweh, do not change” (Malachi 3:6 NJB)

“Yahweh said, ‘ . . . no human being can see me and survive.”—Exodus 33:20 NJB read more
