If they don't contradict - can you supply the want of fact for me?
- At what time was Jesus crucified?
- At what time did the girls head down to the tomb?
- Who told Mary that Christ was risen?
- Where did the disciples meet Christ to witness he was indeed risen?
The testimony you provided certainly is evidence that this guy named Yeshua could have been there, and he had the power to heal just like a lot of angels do - but does it provide evidence that Christ died for our sins, and then rose again? That's where we need the facts of what happened to even begin to determine that.
If you don't have the basic facts of a story - is the story worthy of belief on it's face? If the story is unworthy of belief on it's face - would God really punish you for not believing it, and God doesn't provide any other evidence to rely upon to properly determine what actually transpired?
Also, is this an accurate portrayal of the system of justice that Christianity subscribes to God:
One night, a young girl is watching a movie with her kind and loving atheist father. Suddenly an intruder bursts in, murders the father, and then brutally rapes and murders the young girl.
The intruder is never caught, but one day he makes Christ his Lord and Savior and turns his life around.
At the day of judgement, the little girl asks Christ why her kind and loving father is going to spend eternity in Hell and why the man who raped and murdered her was going to Heaven. Christ smiled at the little girl and said; "Because the man who raped and murdered you made me his Lord and worshiped me like I was God - but your kind and loving father did not."
Is it moral or immoral to punish someone for eternity for not believing in something they don't even have the basic facts to? Is it moral or immoral to simultaneously give a pass to someone who has grievously harmed another person and was never punished for that harm, depriving the victim of justice? Is The Creator of the Universe moral and just? Can the God of Israel be the Creator of the Universe if this is truly his system of justice?
If God truly desired love and worship - wouldn't He do a much better job than us? I mean, if you were the Creator of the Universe - wouldn't you create a being that had the proper knowledge, intellect, and wisdom to even be able to comprehend who you really were and love and adore you completely of their own free will? This being would be incredibly powerful, right? Like the God of Israel? But what happened if that being became jealous and turned on you? Does that sound like the God of Israel in Exodus 34:14?
If a person commands you to love and worship them, and threatens to harm you if you don't - is that person worthy of your love and worship? If you are threatened with consequences of eternal suffering - is your love truly of your own free will, or is it in part to avoid harm? If love is not freely given and is done out of coercion - is it truly love? If God desired our love, wouldn't He want it to be genuine from our own free will with no threats of harm conditionally attached?
Is it loving to threaten harm upon people if they don't love you of their own free will? Is it loving to look that little girl in the eye and tell her she won't get any justice and her dad will spend eternity in Hell because he didn't believe a story that he had no facts to even rely upon because nobody could supply them?
Is the Creator of the Universe a loving being? Can the God of Israel be the Creator of the Universe?
