Many people believe that the Shroud of Turin was the cloth that Jesus was buried in, but the bloodstains on the shroud show that whoever it wrapped was bleeding at the time - and medical science has proven that dead men don't bleed. So if it was Jesus's burial shroud, then Jesus could not have been dead when he was wrapped in it.

I believe there is a high likelyhood that a man name jesus exhisted and did much good in his time, just like i believe in the doctors of today who do good. \n\nNow as to him being some holy being, that I don't quite believe in because it doesn't make alot of sense to me, just as I wouldn't believe in a doctor brought a corpse back to life. \n(not talking about people who are legally dead for a few minutes because that happens somewhat often with today's science.. I mean someone whos really dead.. REALLY REALLY dead.)

You're right, He did not ascend to Heaven until 40 days later, the same thing happen to Jesus, just the same as Lazarus\n\nWHAT JESUS SAID ABOUT DEATH\n\nJesus Christ spoke about the condition of the dead. He did so with regard to Lazarus, a man whom he knew well and who had died. Jesus told his disciples: “Lazarus our friend has gone to rest.” The disciples thought that Jesus meant that Lazarus was resting in sleep, recovering from an illness. They were wrong. Jesus explained: “Lazarus has died.” (John 11:11-14) Notice that Jesus compared death to rest and sleep. Lazarus was neither in heaven nor in a burning hell. He was not meeting angels or ancestors. Lazarus was not being reborn as another human. He was at rest in death, as though in a deep sleep without dreams. Other scriptures also compare death to sleep. For example, when the disciple Stephen was stoned to death, the Bible says that he “fell asleep.” (Acts 7:60) Similarly, the apostle Paul wrote about some in his day who had “fallen asleep” in death.—1 Corinthians 15:6.\n\nLEARNING FROM THE RESURRECTION ACCOUNTS\n\nThe Bible teaches that the dead “are conscious of nothing at all.” They are not alive and have no conscious existence anywhere. The account of Lazarus confirms this. Upon returning to life, did Lazarus thrill people with descriptions of heaven? Or did he terrify them with horrible tales about a burning hell? No. The Bible contains no such words from Lazarus. During the four days that he was dead, he had been “conscious of nothing at all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Lazarus had simply been sleeping in death.—John 11:11.\nThe account of Lazarus also teaches us that the resurrection is a reality, not a mere myth. Jesus raised Lazarus in front of a crowd of eyewitnesses. Even the religious leaders, who hated Jesus, did not deny this miracle. \n\nThink about this too: If Lazarus had been in heaven for those four days, would he not have said something about it?— And if he had been in heaven, would Jesus have made him come back to earth from that wonderful place?— Of course not!\n\nYet, many people say that we have a soul, and they say that the soul lives on after the body dies. They say that Lazarus’ soul was alive somewhere. But the Bible does not say that. It says that God made the first man Adam “a living soul.” Adam was a soul. The Bible also says that when Adam sinned, he died. He became a “dead soul,” and he returned to the dust from which he had been made. The Bible also says that all Adam’s offspring inherited sin and death too.\n\nThe Scriptural teaching of the resurrection, however, is not compatible with the doctrine of the immortality of the soul. If an immortal soul survived death, no one would need to be resurrected, or brought back to life. Indeed, Martha expressed no thought about an immortal soul that was living on elsewhere after death. She did not believe that Lazarus had already gone to some spirit realm to continue his existence. On the contrary, she showed her faith in God’s purpose to reverse the effects of death. She said: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” (John 11:23, 24) Likewise, Lazarus himself related no experiences of some afterlife. There was nothing to report.\n\nClearly, according to the Bible, the soul dies and the remedy for death is the resurrection.

NO I CANNOT, BECAUSE THERE ARE NONE.\n\nHow did Judas Iscariot die?\n\nMatthew 27:5 states that Judas hanged himself, whereas Acts 1:18 says that “pitching head foremost he noisily burst in his midst and all his intestines were poured out.” While Matthew seems to deal with the mode of the attempted suicide, Acts describes the results. Judas apparently tied a rope to the branch of a tree, put a noose around his neck, and tried to hang himself by jumping off a cliff. It seems that either the rope or the tree limb broke so that he plunged downward and burst open on the rocks below. The topography around Jerusalem makes such a conclusion reasonable.

I think it was simply a practical matter.  3 days so nobody could deny he was really dead.  But soon enough to not let the disciples disappear.\nIt's true many things seem to happen in 3's, and in 7's, and in 40's and in 10's.   They are considered to be numbers of completion or perfection.

That's what sets Jesus apart from all of the other religious leaders who have come forth in history. Buddha and Mohamed are dead and buried. But Jesus proved that He was really the Son of God in a dramatic way by first allowing Himself to be killed to atone for our sins and then by being raised from the dead and seen by over 500 witnesses before ascending into Heaven in front of 12 people.\n\nhttp://web.express56.com/~bromar/

Your argument doesn't hold water. For it to be a good argument all the facts need to be true and provable. Jesus wasn't even killed on a cross he was hung.And almost nothing else you said is provable.

There is, of course, no conclusive, CSI-type evidence that proves Christ's resurrection.  But consider the following:\n\nThose who felt threatened by Christ's resurrection (Jewish leadership, Roman authorities) were unable to produce a body to disprove the resurrection of Christ.\n\nThe fact that women are the first to find the empty tomb actually lends some credibility to the story.  A concocted story from first-century Judaea would not have placed women (who were not considererd reliable witnesses and who did not even have the right to testify in court) in such a prominent position in the story, because it would have made the story less believeable among contemporaries.\n\nMany people who knew Christ during his lifetime and who had witnessed his death sure didn't act like their rabbi was dead and gone.  On the contrary, Jesus's disciples behaved as though they KNEW that he was not dead - they risked their lives preaching the Good News.  Why would they all have done that if they knew it was a lie?  What's the point of dying for something you know to be untrue?\n\nDoes any of this prove that Jesus was resurrected?  No - and that proof will never be available.  The resurrection was, is, and always will be a matter of faith.  These are just a few thoughts to consider as you make your reasoned faith-judgment.

If you are thinking of trying to spot a contradiction, then you will be disappointed. The Bible did not say that Judas committed suicide in two different ways. It clearly says in Matthew that he hung himself. Acts simply recorded that he fell headfirst and his stomach was cut opened by the fall. You only call it a contradiction when the two accounts are impossible to reconcile. But it is perfectly plausible that he hung himself from a tree near a cliff or ravine and the branch upon which he was hanging later broke off. Unless you are saying that this scenario is impossible you do not have a contradiction to rave about.

I'm not sure which I find more hliarious, that Patzy calls your article, "bullshit facts" yet there isn't a damn thing to prove God exists that isn't strung together inconsitencies and things that are unexplainable, or the fact that MommaToldMeNotToCome has no ability to read the article and see when the article you posted in fact written.  Fact is, no one should be calling anyone elses beliefs bullshit.  \n\nAs for your question, it could be.  There is no way to tell.  Lots of people were crucified at that time and what happened to Jesus wasn't special.  He was one of many.  \n\nAnd Susenjungle, the Shroud of Turin wasn't used by mary Magdelen to wipe Jesus face, it was what was laid over his body after the crucifiction and due to the oils the body secretes during the ordeal made an stain of his face and body on it.  I have some good books on the subject if you are interested, let me know!  I love sharing books!

Mary was actually at the cross, and Christ, as He hung there, asked one of His apostles to take care of her. If that is the case, then we must assume that Joseph was dead by then.

Yes, Jesus Christ rose from the dead.

Yes jesus's human part was mortal, his human part died on the cross. But he was also divine and that part is immortal, it experienced human death, but did not die.\n\nSO, yes and NO!

Judas went off to hang himself, that much is true. But one account goes into more detail than that. It shows that in the course of hanging himself, the branch that he hung himself from broke, and he fell down a cliff and was killed on the rocks below. So, it was actually only in one way that he died. One account just gave further details of it than the other.
