Why, if Jesus was taken up to be with his father, was the stone in front of his grave moved?

It happened to long ago for blood samples.\n\nJesus was put in another mans tomb.  This was done so that he could be burried for the holiday.  The man that owned the tomd was one of the jews that had him killed.  With that understanding we would have reason to belive that he would have had the body moved to a criminal grave site as soon as they could.  Now we need to look at how long it took his followers to request to see the body.  It took 70 days before the made a request to see the body.  A body was produced for them but they denied it was jesus.  \n\n^That is history.  Not some superstition made up by Paul.

Yeah I guess he was, I mean, where else would he have gone? I think it was traditional then for the father to be present to deliver the baby. Matthew 1-2 and Luke 2.

Wow, that's probably the most blatant blasphemy I've ever heard. The reason God turned his back on His Son for that brief moment was because Jesus was carrying sins of the world (past, present, and future - yours included!) on Himself, and God cannot be in the presence of sin - it's contrary to His perfect nature. Yes, it's a mystery that I won't understand completely until I get to heaven, but it's also what makes the plan of salvation so beautiful. Jesus was willing to momentarily sacrifice his relationship with His own father so that we could have eternal life. Jesus paid for our sins on the cross, making us perfect in the sight of God if we accept His sacrifice and put our faith in Him. The agony of Jesus's separation from His Father was what prompted Him to cry out "Father, why have you forsaken Me?" Jesus already knew the answer - it was rhetorical.

Yes it's in the gospel of either Matthew, Mark, Luke or John that he was in charge of the money. So it would be senseless that money was the chief reason he betrayed Jesus.

It is clear you are trying to say Joshua could have helped Moses carved those stones, like i normally say, you are entitled to what you think, but i do know the bible says the writings on those stones, were written with the finger of God. Exodus.31:18\n\n"And when He had made an end of speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God."

Jesus addressed this idea in John 8:\nThe teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" ... When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" "No one, sir," she said. "Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin."\nI think the passage speaks for itself.

Technically, it would make Him less divine because the descendants aren't divine.  That would hint at the idea that Jesus was, in fact, just a normal man.

Jesus is the ROCK and Deliverer.

Good question Amy. The Bible doesn't say that Jesus was a carpenter although it suggests that he may have been as his earthly father Joseph was and it was usual for the sons to follow in the same trade as their fathers in those days.He would have lived with Mary and Joseph before commencing his ministry at the age of 30 so I suppose he shared in the profits too as he had to live.

He said He was "about His Father's business." That'd be His Heavenly Father, aka God, so yes, he was honoring His parents. If you don't want answers from the Bible, you shouldn't ask questions about Jesus.

Well, it was Passover at the time, and the money-changers did big business then.  People who came from foreign parts had to have their money changed into Jewish currency as this was the only money accepted for the Temple tax, and for the purchase of animals used for sacrifices.  Nothing changes: often the inflated rates of exchange made the moneychangers richer than they should have been, and the prices charged by the merchants for their animals was exorbitant.  Their stalls were set up int the Court of the Gentiles in the Temple; to get to the Temple non-Jews had to pass through it, so they were beleaguered on every side before they got there.  This is what made Jesus angry; they were, in effect, keeping Gentiles from worshipping God.

It is a sign that someone has visited the grave. They put a pebble there to show that they were there. It's just a custom.

I'm not sure ... I would send it direct to the church where he is Reverand.

Simply by recogining you are a sinner and seperated from God the Father, The Word says in many places but one place clearly where Jesus spoke, "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man commeth to the Father except by me." Jesus is referred to as the Lamb of God. In the old testament the Isrealites had to sacrifice a perfect lamb, inspected by the priests, as their sin sacrifice. Jesus came to earth humbling himself as a man. He did many miracles, showing mercy, compassion, healing many and performing deliverances. Then at the last day of His life Jesus was arrested, beaten with a whip with hooks and blades. Then he was forced in this half dead state to carry his cross through Jeruselem with one mans partial help to be nailed to that cross, stripped naked, scoffed and spit at all for our sins. He was the lamb of God. He did die within four hours as a might storm with an earthquake occurred at the moment of His death. Dead people rose from their graves. Jesus was then placed in a tomb qaurded by two Roman soldiers. Jesus went into hell to take the keys to death and on the third day as He and many prophets prophesied, Jesus arose from the dead. He spent time showing himself to many who knew Him and then arose to sit at the right hand of the Father constantly praying for his believing children. Salvation comes as simply and freely as accepting Jesus's sacrifice to pay for your sins. Much more will be revealed as He will give you  His Holy Spirit to counsel you. One day every knee will bow and every tounge confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of the Father. Make Jesus your Lord now!

You ask a really good question. Jesus, God and the Holy spirit and all one in the same...I know...confusing...its one of those things that just require faith to believe in. But Jesus however, is still the Son of God. But when Jesus became man, he left that behind and was seperated from God. So he was praying to God in the garden, God his father.
