Which account is true concerning jesus' tomb?

Question

the bit about who went into the tomb and found him gone?

all, i will say again in case dogma makes you deaf, all the accounts in the bible differ in very serious irreconcilable detail.

do we take the bible as, errr, gospel? or will some fundamentilist soul explain why this is so ?

Answer 1

There's is only one account of Jesus's tomb..which other are you refering to? "It doesen't matter Jesus still lives"

Peace and blessings

Answer 2

Ironically, you are making the same error as any fundamentalist or Protestant, in relying solely on the Bible as a source of faith.

Answer 3

What matters is that He is alive.

My only regret is that I did not discover so until into adulthood.

Answer 4

There is no conclusive proof that the tomb of jesus is the correct tomb. When it was found it all the other tombs in the near vicinity where destroyed as was "his" tomb. But while doing this alot of evidence and the contents of the tomb itself where damaged.

How can we take as gospel a book written 200 years after jesus walked the earth, All the story's in the bible are 2nd hand, and written by a man with his own purpose. The ruler of rome. Anything contradicting what he wanted was destroyed and anyone with a belief against the church was soon put to death.

St paul the 1st crusader to go to italy as a disciple to spread the word of christ was born 150 years after the death of christ, so how can he know the truth of the man. There are so many irregularities in the modern bible,, it can never be taken as real.

Answer 5

Personally, I don't trust the validity of John.

Matthew, Mark and Luke are literally the only three books in the entire Bible that I care to read. The rest I'd rather throw away, for it is wrong, both of God and morally. God is no monster, yet the Bible says He is.

Answer 6

Very simply, Mark gives the most detailed list of those who attended the empty tomb early that morning. He places Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome there. Is it a contradiction because Matthew only mentions the two Marys? Is it a contradiction because John only mentions Mary Magdalene? The questioner didn't mention Luke's account, and thus, I will bring it up. At the end of chapter 23, Luke mentions that the women who had come with Jesus from Galilee watched where Joseph had laid the Lord's body. He then records, "...they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them." (Luke 24:1) Luke is not specific about who was there, but indicates that there was a group of people nonetheless.

If I have a party, and tell you that Fred and Bonnie were there, does that mean I have told you all who were there? No, just that Fred and Bonnie were there. That does not exclude others from having been there. Perhaps my wife, speaking of the same party might mention that John and Linda were there. In all likelihood, Fred and Bonnie are closer to me than others who attended, and thus I would mention them. As well, perhaps John and Linda are closer to my wife than others who were present, and thus she would mention them. Mary Magdalene was dear to the Lord's disciples, and thus would be mentioned by name, as also were the other Mary and Salome. Luke, who was not among those who journeyed with the Lord during his ministry mentions none by name, but simply refers to the women "...which came with him from Galilee..."

There is no contradiction.

Answer 7

Well, first of all all the different parts in the bible were written by different apostle (those are the people that followed Jesus).

So it is true that there are going to be conflicting points since each chapter was written from a different point of view unlike your beloved Harry Potter.
