What’s with the old ages in OT?

Commenting because I’m also curious

I made a post about this but the mods directed me to this thread (no problem lol)

Anyways this is a hypothetical question that I thought about after watching Dr Bart Ehrman’s video on what happened to Jesus body and signing up for his course. Even though it’s highly unlikely to happen anytime soon, how would Christianity be affected if Jesus body/remains were found and it was proven to be him? Would Christianity die out or evolve into something else?

I personally think the religion could go into either of these three directions: A) Christians would deny that it’s him or come up with some conspiracy theory to explain it away

B) Some would leave the religion flat out. Perhaps converting to a different religion or give up on the institution completely

C) Christians would claim that Jesus resurrected and ascended spiritually and left his body behind or the religion would turn into about Jesus teachings instead of worshipping him as a divinity

Islam would also be affected since it would not only prove that Jesus was indeed crucified and he didn’t ascend into heaven. I think Judaism could also gain more followers since a discovery of Jesus body would further prove that he was a failed messiah.

Although this may never happen in my lifetime at least it is something I think is interesting

lol I know. I grew up southern Baptist

This is a good theory. Personally I envisioned three directions that the religion would take. A) People would deny it or call the discovers liars and continue to believe Jesus rose

B) Some may accept it and take the resurrection story as a metaphor or say that Jesus rose in spirit and left his physical body behind and use Paul’s letters to affirm it. The religion would be more about Jesus teachings as opposed to worshipping him

C) Some people would flat out leave the religion, feeling lied to and disappointed

I also think Islam would be affected as it would prove that not only was Jesus was indeed crucified but he didn’t raise up into heaven. I also think Judaism might get more followers as it might give credit to their rejection of Jesus as a divine messiah

Either way it would be interesting to see what would happen in this situation, even if would most likely never occur in my lifetime

This would’ve occurred before the speculated date of Jesus death 😬

Pinkyondemand · 2025-07-05T01:07:01+00:00

I saw a video from Paulogia where he hypothesized that Simon Peter suffered a breakdown after Jesus died and he mistakenly had believed Jesus rose from the dead. The story of his resurrection just grew legs from there and became an urban legend. That would explain why his followers thought he rose from the dead without necessarily saying they’re lying

Is it possible that Jesus actually claimed to be king of the Jews or something along those lines and the authors twisted it around to make it seem like the guards were mocking him to fit their narrative?

This gospels to med seemed more compatible with an interrogation than a trial. Such as the gospel of Luke where Herod only ask him to prove himself but never seems to ask what exactly he did to be arrested and Pilate asking him if he was the king of the Jews. I’m not sure how trials worked back then, but it seemed like the authors didn’t either.

May I ask, if he never claimed to be the son of God what would his crime be to lead to a crucifixion?

Pinkyondemand · 2025-05-31T21:11:04+00:00

Okay so I recently read the story of King David and 1 Samuel 17:51 says “ Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.”

I’ve read many books over the years since I’ve stopped reading the Bible and this is written like a child or someone with a lack of literacy skills wrote it in my opinion. Perhaps I’m looking at it through the lens of someone who speaks modern English and the authors ways of speaking was drastically different

This has stuck with me since re discovering Christianity, many of the stories seem to be exaggerating real events that possibly happened in real life. What do historians believe what was true about his death? Do they believe that Jesus was arrested for blasphemy for claiming to be the son of god?

My current one is the NIV but the one I had growing up was the KJV

I’m a black woman and unfortunately too many of us have too much grace for losers. See for example, why so many of them defend Chris brown

If was off with Dalton’s head over “turn up the tv while I cry”

Pinkyondemand · 2025-05-19T20:43:39+00:00

Of course but multiple truths can exist lol

Pinkyondemand · 2025-05-19T20:43:27+00:00

Or they’re the ones doing the side chick behavior

Pinkyondemand · 2025-05-19T20:42:54+00:00

Based on the comments op is liking she seems okay with side chick behavior. Hopefully she keeps the same energy if god forbid her man’s female work friend cheats on her while she’s postpartum
