Yeah, but he was already gone by sunday And he kept passover not easter.
yes.
No.
nope.
Metaphorically perhaps
sho nuff
Absolutely!
Zombie Jesus FTW
I wouldn’t be a Christian if I didn’t.
According to the four year old boy(Colton Burpo) who claims to have been to heaven, THIS is what Jesus looks like. And in answer to your question, I do believe he was raised from the dead.
Happy Easter Everyone.
yerp!
yes
There is nothing else in this world that I am more sure of.
IDK but I believe Jesus was American
MURRICA!
lies. to keep religion in power. totally disagree with this whole holiday.
sure do =)
I personally think we are proof there is a God… and why not Jesus too… we’re too pathetic to go about this life alone.
Just as much as I believe I was raised from the dead this morning.
Only as much as I believe that Oxygen is good or us.
Whatever floats your boat. I believe there is a God and my husband living through all of the stuff he has been going through it proof of that. There is power in prayer and I believe that and my husband is proof of that also.
Na. I believe he probably existed and was most likely an exceptional man, but his story, like so many, got blown way out of proportion.
Theo Dan “hints” that Jesus is very personal to him. Pray to Jesus that he remembers only the good things that you have done, and if you admit your sins, then Jesus can forgive you.
Completely!
I don’t know I think that makes him a zombie. Can you really die if you’re God or half god?
“..flocking their sheeps by night..” in a Palestinian winter? Idk. Dragons, unicorns, vampires, and UFO’s in the verses? Maybe. Love coming back from the dead? Yes. The answer is- yes..
Once the blood has been drained from your blood vessels and the nutrients and oxygen are no longer being supplied to the cells in your brain and body, you are clinically dead. There is little to no chance of coming back from that state after 3 minutes, let alone 3 days. Some of you need to learn more about how the human body works.
Simple answer? Fuck no.
I do believe, and I want to wish you and everyone else a Happy Easter.
No. I’m an atheist.
Nope. No more than I believe any supernatural/divine occurances in any other religion. I guess I’d accept that a man called Jesus existed, but then the historical evidence for that is shoddy to say the least.
Why not?
Jesus coming back from the dead is more believable than “gay” marriage or “nationalized” medicine, or global warming or any of the other myriad hoaxes most people are passionate about today.
He’s here, in the Living Bread.
Yep.
I am enjoying watching The Bible on the history channel and my husband says it’s too violent.
I believe all things are possible with faith.
yep
Yes.
Oh Dan.. you’re going to get a firestorm once the anti-Christian bigot crowd comes upon this.
Jesus was raised from the dead… not by a rabbit (seriously? Why the bunnies?)… He probably wasn’t European, or the people from the bible would probably have referred to him as “the only white guy around.”
How does one look American???
I think the more important question here is, “What does FTW stand for?” (@Lithium98 - @ShimmerBodyCream) I know it’s probably obvious, but it’s early and I should be STILL sleeping.
@Garistotle - The anti-”Christian bigot” crowd is already here. =P
In a sense. I believe Jesus wasn’t exactly raised from the dead, but rather that he was reincarnated as a giant rabbit, which laid a Cadbury egg filled with magic blood, which was used to wash away all of our sins. Praise Jesus Bunny!
Yes, I do.
I dun poo poo in my panties.
@olwd - I had to google it. It means “For the Win”
Yes. About the unrelated political correctness in your post…
just as Amanda said I am stunned that people able to make $5639 in a few weeks on the internet. did you look at this link http://www.Cloud65.com
not at all.
I prefer to think the Jesus conquered death rather than rise from the dead…there is a subtle difference.
Yes. I also believe in the Tooth Fairy and magic elves.
*facepalm*
Yes sir
If He wasn’t,then we are all still dead in our sin and have no hope,and also if He wasn’t raised from the dead we are all fools for believing something that wasn’t true.But if it is true as I believe,we have hope,a sure hope.
No I don’t but I do believe The Gnostic Christians…That His birth was a spiiritual birth so was His death and resurrection and so was the transfiguration…As I get older I am slowly but surely becoming more of a Gnostic Christian. I recommend that you read The Gnostic Gospels if you have not already,
And I am convinced that physically Jesus looked more like Osama Bin Laden or Saddam Husssein then what we feel comfortable after all He was from The Middle East.
@olwd - For the win. Win is internet slang for anything good or positive or successful, ie epic win. The phrase originally referred to nude pictures of someone being found and posted on 4chan, ie “is there any win of [model or celebrity]“, which was an evolution of the song Epic by Faith No More, which is about molestation/rape. The lyrics:
Can you feel it, see it, hear it today?
If you can’t, then it doesn’t matter anyway
You will never understand it ’cause it happens too fast
And it feels so good, it’s like walking on glass
It’s so cool, so hip it’s alright
It’s so groovy, it’s outta sight
You can touch it, smell it, taste it so sweet
But it makes no difference ’cause it knocks you off your feet ’cause
@Lordv16 - said part of what I believe. I believe Jesus was a man trying to show others what he thought was a better way of worshipping God and living with others in peace and love.
Every single time I come here I wonder how the fuck you are always “Top Blog”. Jesus indeed, Jesus fucking wept.
@chadwilly - My site is marketed well. I am a pro.
If the resurrection of Jesus Christ did not occur, then Christianity is a waste of time.
On the third day, two angels from heaven came down. The Roman guards on duty at the tomb witnessed their approach and collapsed in fear. They experienced the earth tremble as the stone was rolled away. There was the voice of the Father speaking to Jesus, bringing Him out of His sleep. Jesus made His bed, and the Roman guards witnessed His departure.
The guards made their report to the priests concerning Jesus’ resurection. They paid off the guards and set things right with their commanders in the Roman army. I am sure the unit was then disbanded, which is what would happen in today’s world when strange things happen.
There are enough witnesses to testify Jesus was dead on Friday before Sabbath. There are more than enough witnesses who saw Jesus after His resurrection. Anyone who says the resurrection did not take place is lying to themselves.
Yea
@TheTheologiansCafe - Is that the first time you’ve left a comment on one of your blogs? It’s the first one I’ve seen, other than on pulses.
@Super_Rob_of_the_Sky - @agnophilo - To tell you the truth neither of the two uses I saw in the comments here, which brought this up to begin wiht, appears to have used it correctly, at least how skull meister explained it.
@olwd - Well I explained how it’s changed over time, now it’s just a more general “this is good” statement. Kind of like lol is the equivalent of a smile.
@agnophilo - Oh so they were saying that this was a good post then?
@olwd - No, in context they were praising (sarcastically) the various fictional versions of jesus.
@agnophilo - Wow, didn’t expect that from Shimmer. If that is in fact what she meant. But hey, don’t know her that well either.
@agnophilo - Oh well now it all makes sense. LOL I suppose I should have just asked Shimmer, but . . .wait, I did, oh well, thanks for sticking with me and seeing me through to the end. LOL
@olwd - I just made up my version because I tend to do things like that. Plus ftw is wtf backwards.
Jesus WAS an American!! Can’t you tell by looking?? I mean he does not have a big Jew nose or brown skin or ANY of the attributes of a Jew or Arab! LOL He looks just like the Brazilian who plays Jesus in the History channels mini series the Bible.
I don’t really believe He died to begin with …
@Captric - He might be American – but wasn’t he born before America was founded ?
to old cemeteries in various parts of the world. When we wander through a graveyard and look at the tombstones or go to a church and examine the old monuments, we see one heading on most of them: “Here lies … ” Then follow the person’s name, date of death and perhaps some praise of the qualities of the deceased.
But how different would be the epitaph on the tomb of Jesus! It would neither be written in gold nor cut in stone. It was spoken by the mouth of an angel and is the exact opposite of what is engraved on other tombs: “He is not here; for He is risen” (Matthew 28:6).
The most important events in human history were the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul wrote, “If Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. … If Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!” (1 Corinthians 15:14, 17). In reading about the early church, we find the central theme of the early Christian witness to the world was the fact that Jesus Christ, who was crucified, had been raised from the dead.
Today we usually hear a sermon on the resurrection every Easter, but that is about the only time. However, in the preaching of the apostles, the cross and the resurrection were constant themes. The cross and the resurrection were linked together; they are supposed to be linked. Without the resurrection, the cross is meaningless. Apart from the resurrection, the cross is a tragedy and a defeat.
i was raised to believe this. but as a rational adult, i can honestly say i no longer believe this.
I used to do a three-day fast from sundown on Thursday until sunrise on Easter Sunday. For me, the holiday was a very spiritual and serious time. Now I understand that it’s still a very spiritual and serious time, but not because of Jesus. Please don’t burn me at the stake, I promise I’m a good Druid.

You want it all but you can’t have it
It’s cryin’, bleedin’, lying on the floor
So you lay down on it and you do it some more
You’ve got to share it, so you dare it
Then you bare it and you tear it
You want it all but you can’t have it
It’s in your face but you can’t grab it
It’s alive, afraid, a lie, a sin
It’s magic, it’s tragic,
it’s a loss, it’s a win
It’s dark, it’s moist, it’s a bitter pain
It’s sad it happened and it’s a shame
You want it all but you can’t have it
It’s in your face but you can’t grab it
What is it?
It’s it
What is it?…

“He Is Not Here!” by Billy Graham
I
like
to
go
to old cemeteries in various parts of the world. When we
wander through a graveyard and look at the tombstones or go to a church
and examine the old monuments, we see one heading on most of them: “Here
lies … ” Then follow the person’s name, date of death and perhaps some
praise of the qualities of the deceased.
But
how different would be the epitaph on the tomb of Jesus! It would
neither be written in gold nor cut in stone. It was spoken by the mouth
of an angel and is the exact opposite of what is engraved on other
tombs: “He is not here; for He is risen” (Matthew 28:6).
