Why do so few Christians show any curiosity about the resurrection details?

Question

^v^ ^v^ ^v^ ^v^ ^v^ ^v^ ^v^ ^v^

Normally I dislike "why" questions on Y!A, but I am genuinely puzzled by the lack of curiosity Christians display concerning the core belief of their faith.

Why do so few ask questions about about where the body of Jesus is at this moment?

Or whether it was at some point discarded?

Or whether he needed to breathe, eat or engage in other body functions, etc.?

Any help in explaining the common Christian complacency would be appreciated.

I mean, even to think about the questions the resurrection provokes seems so difficult for Christians. It's almost like it's not allowed!

Answer 1

Christianity is not interested in validating the impossible stories that support their belief. And when they do, they resort to manipulation of the facts or outright pseudoscience (intelligent design, b.s. cosmological age of the universe, effectiveness of prayer, hiding genetic roots of homosexuality, finding radiation in the supposed Shroud of Turin, etc).

It's about believing in faith, in absence or contrary to evidence.

Answer 2

Why is it that when a brilliant adventure happens and all the Newspapers record it that the articles in all the papers at the instant are not same be conscious for be conscious? Does that mean the all the newshounds lied or all of them in basic terms had their very own view factor and %. what they think of is important. not one of the failings you point out certainly contradict one yet another. in basic terms because of the fact one author wrote approximately Mary and not the different women persons does not mean the different women persons weren't there it in basic terms potential that author did not think of the different women persons have been that important. possibly he have been given his account from Mary Magelene and not the others. specific they have been there to verify the tomb and all had already considered it earlier while Jesus strengthen into crucified and that they without delay arranged the physique earlier the Sabbath arrived so even nonetheless the physique were spiced they further extra spices to end the burial which were rushed. in case you examine extra desirable lower back you will see that not all of their customs for burial were finished. all of it happened in the early morning era. have you ever been outdoors at daybreak top while the sunlight is approximately to upward push and it gets easy very without delay. So no contradiction there the two. in basic terms because of the fact John and Matthew do not point out the ascension does not mean it did not take place and Luke and Mark the two say close to Jerusalem in common terms Luke is extra precise then Mark so lower back no contradiction. i'm not asserting which you're mendacity. surely it truly is an exceedingly solid remark and a large question. i desire this facilitates. distinctive people will constantly see issues a splash in any different case and prioritize issues in any different case. you will on no account have same debts of the comparable adventure while absolutely everyone seems to be seeing it from distinctive angles.

Answer 3

I'm afraid I can't answer your question, all I can do is expand on it:

If Jesus died, then came back to life, and was walking around, talking to people and eating....well, not to be too crude, but when you eat, you also digest food....what happened when he digested the food?

While he was resurrected and up and walking around for 40 days or whatever it was, did he need to sleep during that time? Or does a resurrected body not need sleep?

And if he is in "heaven", and he has a body....bodies take up space. I mean, all matter takes up space. Where is his body? If everybody has a body in heaven, and if these bodies are made of matter, they're going to take up space, too. If there's no limit on the number of people who can go to heaven, won't it get overcrowded? Or are the claims of some religions true - only 144,000 people get in?

This was the effect Sunday school had on me when I was a kid. It gave me more questions than answers. And the adults around me never gave a satisfactory answer.

Answer 4

Well, if you read the Bible. Jesus was with his disciples for 40 days after the resurrection and it appears that he ate food with them and was also able to make himself appear and disappear at will. Jesus ascended into heaven with a new body and the promise of His return and the commission of believers to teach eternal life, build the church, destroy the works of the devil.

Without the resurrection the Christian faith is pointless. The empty tomb and the historical account of his resurrection is all Christians need. Why do you think revisionist are trying to come up with the body of Jesus?
Christians knew someone would come up with this ploy long ago and we know people will try to make Jesus out to be just a man or a myth? Revisionist junk doesn't phase us!

Answer 5

We believe the body is glorified after the resurrection. I would imagine bodily functions are not the same. We won't know until our time comes. It really isn't central to the issue of Jesus Christ and his ministry. Our finite minds can only comprehend three dimensions and the fact that everything occupies a space. Therefore we cannot comprehend the life beyond the grave. We believe there is one and we will know when we get there.
I know this might not satisfy your curiosity.

Answer 6

1) His body is currently with Jesus in heaven. It is called the Ascension.
2) His body is currently with him, so it was not discarded
3) Since he simple appeared inside a locked room, was in two places at the same time, able to raise into the air, and was not being harm or hurt by his still visible wounds, it would appear his body is beyond the need for food, air, etc. Paul explains it in 1 Corinthians 15. When he rose, his body was transformed from terrestrial to celestial in nature. The same will happen to the body of others when they are raised.

Answer 7

I'm a Christian but i agree with your thoughts and the thoughts of some of the other answerers that Christians don't ask difficult questions. So many of the answers Christians give in Yahoo Answers to good questiona are knee-jerk "the Bible tells me so" answers. I think there is a place for hypothetical discussion in faith. If you think you know it all you don't know much in my opinion!

Answer 8

Answered this in your previous question. We don't question because we know. We know where Jesus is...it's in the bible. We've read it a million times...there's no reason for curiosity. It's common Christian knowledge

Douse he eat breath etc I suppose he is human but as the Bible states he as we will have heavenly bodies that do not die. Different kind of body..different needs.

Answer 9

I think they don't feel it's important. They figure God will take care of everything. I had posted an answer with some info on what researches thought may have happened after he was on the cross and how it might explain why there was no body in the tomb (from a reasonable, not requiring faith view.) All I got was a bunch of thumbs downs. They don't like to hear that stuff.

Answer 10

The body of Jesus is with him in heaven, Christian believe in the bodily (Physical) ressurection of Christ. As it was at the transfiguration it is now changed into the glorious body that will last throughout eternity, Beffcause he is the first fruit of the ressurection it gives us the hope we need that we to will one day be resurrected into life eternal/

Answer 11

Your questions will seem ludicrous to any true Christian. First off, we believe only what God says and then we do it. Faith. So many why questions are silly, but not always. The debate is on for where the bones of Jesus lay, and its nuts. who cares? We know Jesus was raised from the dead, and He is no longer a dead Jesus on a cross. He is a risen Lord, and He is there for us each moment of every day, IF we want Him to be. He is a living breathing Lord, and for you to ask about His body functions , shows you are being irreverant to God and mocking Him, and thats no funny stuff to God. A true Christian is never complacent about any of the things of God . We know what He says and we live by it. WE dont waste a lot of time trying to find out thats that dont matter. If God wants us to know where the bones of Jesus are, He would tell us. I rest my case. Do you think they are somewhere just laying on the ground waiting to be FOUND???? Quit worry about the bones of Jesus. Think only on the realness of the risen Lord which is there to love you, forgive you, save you and take you to Heaven when He comes. Find out what you must do to be one that gets to go. God says we must obey, you must know the word of God to know what He says, so you can obey it. Grace doesnt cover willfull, deliberate sin. Obedlence leads to blessing but disobedience leads to curse. Stop mocking Jesus, and look for Him . He says Seek and you will find. Start seeking cuz He is coming soon and only those that are fully His , are going with Him. No time to mock Jesus. Ask for forgiveness tho, He is eager to give it. Then turn from your sins and begin to know what Jesus expects of you and then just do it.\Say No to all sin,and Yes to God.
Christians know the resurrection details. There is no curiosity, and if God wants to know something, He tells us. Trying to find His bones is just not something we need to worry about. Finding the true Jesus and asking Him into our heart does matter tho. Seek and ye shall find.
