Jesus got up after being dead three days, and started walking around like nothing ever happened, then he rose into the sky and became a god?

I like it.

The part I'm a little dubious about its where dead people, that had been dead a lot longer than three days, started getting out of their graves and walking the streets. (Matthew 27:52-53)

All those events were on the same day; what are the chances of that?

Dead people got out of their graves and started walking the streets, yes; what's so hard to understand?

After all of the excitement had subsisded most of them got back in their graves, though a few remained among the living and redied later.

you've the tale incorrect. Jesus did not change into God after the resurrection...he replaced into continually God. a million - definite, there are a selection of historians and writers who've lengthy previous over this. The earliest Gospel it really is Mark's is seen to were written about 60-70AD someplace. The others are a touch later...with Luke's being the youngest i imagine. The expenditures of the resurrection were just about on the spot. at the same time as the ladies went to the tomb, their first idea replaced into that the body of Christ were taken and moved. The Hebrew monks proper now began a tale that the diciples of Jesus had stolen his body. in case you look by the early historic archives (which comprise the Gospels because they are seen to be traditionally precise) you'll stumble on no human being ever denies that the tomb replaced into no longer empty. There are different motives for why...yet no human being ever says...his body is stil there, or that he's in a distinct grave, or maybe that he replaced into moved on purpose. If he were stolen through his disciples and then they made up the completed tale of the resurrection...different issues that befell do exactly no longer make experience. First, they might have paid homage to the grave they moved him to in some unspecified time sooner or later. someone would have common. also, the Apostles died brutal and terrible deaths..for what? A lie? I infrequently imagine so. yet another situation to judge is that the tomb replaced into proper there...for all to analyze and bypass see. yet, in Jerusalem for the time of those first few years over 5000 converts became Christians...listening to the tale, seeing the tomb and believing. Over 3 converts an afternoon...in basic terms in Jerusalem. St. Paul writes that there have been over 500 witnesses to the resurrection...those who said Jesus after he died. at the same time as he replaced into penning this he reported some were nonetheless alive. it really is very few issues i visit imagine of off the coolest of my head. there are a selection of, many extra. 2 - All i visit assert is this is no longer a joke. Why would you assume it truly is once you've the information of many sensible those who do believe. straightforward experience tells us that if maximum of those human beings believe then there could be something to it. we've some non-religious historic archives that factor out Jesus and some that let us know about early Christianity. those also help to color a photo of early cases.

Well Jesus was resurrected after three days. But the scripture there at Matthew 27:52-53, actually isn't referring to those being brought back to life.
(Matthew 27:52-53) . . .And the memorial tombs were opened and many bodies of the holy ones that had fallen asleep were raised up, vs. 53 -  (and persons, coming out from among the memorial tombs after his being raised up, entered into the holy city,) and they became visible to many people."

What this is referring to is not the dead being raised back to life, if you read the verses before and after, you'll see Matthew is talking about where Jesus was killed. There was an earthquake at that time (brought on by God, his father) to show his grief over Jesus dying.
Also, whoever “the holy ones” were, Matthew did not say they were raised up. He said their bodies, or corpses, were. Second, he did not say these bodies came to life. He said they were raised up, and the Greek verb e·gei′ro, meaning to “raise up,” does not always refer to a resurrection. It can, among other things, also mean to “lift out” from a pit or to “get up” from the ground. (Matthew 12:11; 17:7; Luke 1:69) The upheaval at Jesus’ death opened tombs, tossing lifeless bodies into the open.
This view of the event harmonizes with Bible teachings. In 1 Corinthians chapter 15, the apostle Paul gives convincing proof of the resurrection, but he completely ignores Matthew 27:52, 53. So do all other Bible writers. (Acts 2:32, 34) The corpses raised up at Jesus’ death could not have come to life in the way Epiphanius thought, for on the third day thereafter, Jesus became “the firstborn from the dead.” (Colossians 1:18) Anointed Christians, also called “holy ones,” were promised a share in the first resurrection during Christ’s presence, not in the first century.—1 Thessalonians 3:13; 4:14-17.

* So those ones where you questioned about getting out of the graves and walking the streets, were not people that were brought back to life, their bodies were now out of the ground and visible to others.

Sometimes things aren't always as they read and remember, the bible is inspired of God, so it will be consistent with the rest of the books. (good find! I like doing research)

There is a slight problem with your question. You say "then he rose into the sky and became a god?" He was God all along. That is taught throughout the bible (Old and New Testament), but is stated succinctly in John, chapter 1.

Given that, everything else (all the miracles) becomes more plausible. The passage from Matthew you refer to specifically mentions "the saints" and "the grave." There is an enormous teaching rendered in those two verses dealing with the eternal fate of those who died before Christ came. This is a stumbling block for many because they assume the Old Testament "saints" (not to be confused with what the catholics label as saints) couldn't believe in Christ because Christ had not yet come, therefore they were all condemned, but this is in opposition to what is actually taught in the bible. The passage you reference is one of many that indicates those who did in faith before Christ were actually eternally saved.

"With god all things are possible" including really dumb things maybe. Church people are pretty dumb, and with god they are possible.

If the dead got out of their graves and walked the streets, god did it; and who are you to ask why?

If there's a God who made it all happen, the chances are great.
