Featured Paul mentions that “more than 500” saw the risen Jesus in a single early letter, but included this in no other letters. Why ? ?

Next project . . .

I’m going to pull the dates for

1st Corinthians

Gospel of Luke.

Luke is years later, in fact, several decades later. And if the rumor was getting firmed up. For example, if several people were going public and saying, No, it’s not a rumor, the risen Jesus did appear to us. And putting their reputations on the line …

Then it’d probably be in Luke.

Especially since the Gospel of Luke has the longer, more descriptive tellings of post-Resurrection events.

For example, Luke includes the “Road to Emmaus” in which two followers of Luke are walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus, and a stranger starts walking with them and asks them what they are talking about so intently. And it’s not until hours later, that God allows them to see that this stranger is Jesus.

You can no doubt recognize the sense in which since we are still talking about Jesus 2k years later, He has “risen” though. And your last sentence strikes me as a pretty good way of saying “no, you dont yet recognize Who Jesus is” maybe

When you are Quoted as saying “to be absent from the body is to be present with the lord” when you never said that,

So Paul never said that? What is your evidence that he did not say this?

2 Corinthians 5:8 - Our Eternal Dwelling

We are confident, then, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

idt its even ever xlated that way into English, Scooter.

I asked for evidence and you post the verse.

i just edited back there fwiw; it usually takes me a minute to build a post, sorry
but yes, the verse that never says “to be” in any translation, idt?

point being that Paul is adept at putting stuff a certain way, so as to be easily misunderstood by the cult of sol invictus

 

[bbyrd009]

that congregation that you belong to, but are not aware of?

I really have no idea what you are talking about. Paul’s writing are very clear to me. And I don’t know why you say I’m in the cult of sol invictus

hey, so, progress. From you knowing all that stuff before, i mean

i mean, Paul’s writings are very clear to you, but you didnt know that there was no “to be absent…?”

Nothing wrong with being in the cult of sol btw, Apollos waters

2 Cor.5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

I am very familiar with this verse, but I have no idea what you are talking about. Neither do I understand why you claim I am in a cult of sol or what you mean by Apollos watering. I know the verse you are referring to but I do not know what you mean by referring to it.

i guess wikipedia would be a decent first approach? The Cult of Sol Invictus is technically the Roman Catholic congregation now, although Protestants have retained all of the basics. Amazing to me how…hidden in plain sight all that is, to virtually all believers; but then there just is no vested interest in telling us the truth, i guess

Sol Invictus - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

its where we get “church” on Sunday—took over a hundred years, and thousands of Christian deaths, apparently; and a change of name to “Satur”day even—plus, oh, basically everything that we are taught in “church,” Easter (Ishtar, Oestre), Xmas, afterlife, on and on. Jesus, “returning.”

The Bible plainly warns us that strong men will seize control, if they can

and fwiw, sorry about this, ok? I realize that finding this out from some stranger on the internet seems pretty ridic lol. And there are, God help us, even pastors who are apparently blissfully unaware. Young ones, mostly.

and i guess it might be inferred that i am saying you joined the wrong religion, or something? when nothing could be further from the truth ok. Apollos got you all the way to right here, see
