Wouldn’t some just love to be able to say no. The world hates Him.

If one were to believe the tripe on the History channel:

Jesus had brothers

Mary Magdalene was Jesus wife

Jesus did not rise on the third day or at all

The Ark of the Covenant is in Ethiopia somewhere

And on and on, just in time for Easter

Seems a conspiracy to challenge everything I believe.

Hasn't worked yet. Not likely to...

From the article:

John Dominic Crossan, a Roman Catholic and a former professor at DePaul University, said the Resurrection is best understood as a metaphor, a belief that puts him at odds with his own church.

Saying the Resurrection "is a metaphor doesn't dismiss it," Crossan said. "I get the message, I get the challenge from the metaphor."

I must disagree with the good professor here. Saying the Resurrection is a metaphor does dismiss it. For if it is just a metaphor—if Jesus never arose from the dead—then He is dead and we are all as good as dead ourselves. Hence, Crossan's "message" is that the Gospels lie and that nothing is real but the reality of the grave.

Fortunately for all of us, the Resurrection is not merely a metaphor, but an event that truly happened.

This non-article was designed to attack Christianity — again. There is no controversy or doubts within Christianity about the resurrection. There are doubts by non-believers but not believing Christians. If someone does not believe the resurrection then they are not a Christian. In fact without believing in the resurrection there is no reason to be a Christian.

IOW the MSM is trying to attack faith because as long as there is a right and a wrong they can never impose homosexual marriage, outlaw the concepts of mother and father, and just have relative morality.

Big Brother Lovers you, the MSM told us so.

This is a pointless crock.

The real question is, can the Post and the remainder of the MSM come back from the dead?

Cheers!

"...Davis believes in the bodily resurrection, though he acknowledges some seemingly contradictory New Testament accounts."

There are seemingly contradictory accounts of what happened in the presidential motorcade in Dallas in November 1963, too.

---But that doesn't mean John Kennedy wasn't shot dead.
