Christians: If you were presented with undeniable proof that the resurrection was a hoax?

Question

would that change your belief. Not saying this is going to be "undeniable" but it should spark discussion.

Answer 1

If it was undeniable proof, yes, of course that would change my belief.

"If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain." - 1 Corinthians 15:14

Answer 2

It's not so why even go there? If there was proof then there would never have been a belief to begin with

My proof says there was a resurrection and there are too many things happening that I feel is prophecy being fullfilled so the proof isn't in the pudding but facing the facts that what has happened in the past, the happenings of today and the happenings in the future have happened are happening and will happen - This undeniable proof can't happen so my belief will always remain the same. I've never been so ready for anything in my life as the return of Christ but I don't believe he will return until ALL have had a chance to hear and a chance to believe

Answer 3

Uh,is this about the latest movie promoting the idea that they've found the burial place of Jesus and His family?Sorry,but I can't believe anyone would take it seriously.
Most serious archeologists have concluded that the whole thing's bunk.
The main scholar who is the source for the story does not think it is Jesus' tomb.
Mary,Joseph,and Jesus were extremely popular names in the ancient world.
DNA cannot prove the identity of a person if they do not have another sample.All the DNA evidence has proven,is that those that were found are related to each other.
Jesus' family isn't even from Jerusalem.Why on earth would they be buried there?
Bar-Ilan University Prof. Amos Kloner, the Jerusalem District archeologist who officially oversaw the work at the tomb in 1980 and has published detailed findings on its contents, on Saturday night dismissed the claims. "It makes a great story for a TV film," he told The Jerusalem Post. "But it's impossible. It's nonsense."
Kloner, who said he was interviewed for the new film but has not seen it, said the names found on the ossuaries were common, and the fact that such apparently resonant names had been found together was of no significance. He added that "Jesus son of Joseph" inscriptions had been found on several other ossuaries over the years."There is no likelihood that Jesus and his relatives had a family tomb," Kloner said. "They were a Galilee family with no ties in Jerusalem. The Talpiot tomb
belonged to a middle-class family from the 1st century CE."

Answer 4

religion and resurrection go together like pb & j, can't pretty much have one without the other. with a few religions, I give the exception. But resurrection is the most common theme in almost every religion ever created. It all has been done, enough talking about it, ashes to ashes, nuff said!


P.S. Even "if" (and this is a big huge IF) they found the real Jesus' bones, then what makes you think that most people will not start a new religion with that?

Answer 5

Scripture presents conclusive evidence that Jesus Christ was in fact resurrected from the dead. Christ’s resurrection is recorded in Matthew 28:1-20; Mark 16:1-20; Luke 24:1-53; and John 20:1-21:25. The resurrected Christ also appeared in the Book of Acts (Acts 1:1-11). From these passages you can gain several "proofs" of Christ’s resurrection. First, look at the dramatic change in the disciples. They went from scared and hiding in a room, to courageous and sharing the Gospel throughout the world. What else could explain this dramatic change other than the risen Christ appearing to them?

Answer 6

That is like saying we would be shown the opposite of truth or untruth. I could tell the difference. Undeniable is a moot term anyways. Nothing is undeniable in all contexts.

Answer 7

If it was without a doubt 100% undeniable than yeah. I would still believe in God, but I guess I would change my beliefs.

Answer 8

if it were proveable. I would consider it.

however, would you believe anything i say that proves Jesus is still alive and visits people in visions and glory?

I tell you the truth! an angel appeared in my bedroom and i was not asleep. Jesus appeared to me in the morning sun of righteousness in a visitation not once but three times.
So the proof that the son of God lives proves that the gospel of the resurrection is true.

Answer 9

It won't spark discucssion, because this question is ancient. Really, it's hundreds of years old. If undeniable proof existed, it would have surfaced. People have been trying to disprove it since it happened.

Answer 10

No, not at all. I have always done things according to my conscience and circumstances. The fact that there was no resurrection would not make me want to kill or steal.
