JESUS HAD HOLES IN HIS WHAT?
Christianity-Revealed
John
20:24-27 (KJV)
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve,
called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25 The other disciples therefore said unto
him, We have
seen the LORD. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his
hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails,
and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
26 And after eight days again his disciples were
within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood
in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
27 Then saith
he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy
hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but
believing.
This presents a few problems to Christianity:
1. Twelve
disciples means that Matthew was there. Matthew, the one who supposedly wrote all
the details about Jesus’ life, left out “doubting Thomas.” Luke was supposedly
written to clean up Matthew’s errors, yet he too left out one of the important
verifications of the Resurrection story, of Thomas putting his fingers into
Jesus’ hole. WHY? Didn’t the unknown
author of Matthew find these details important?
2. There is universal
agreement that no one was crucified with nails through the hands because it
simply would not support the weight of a body. This fact was proven by the group known as the “Biblical
Resources–Israel” located in
As Joe Wallack
wrote; “It’s arguable that the underlying Greek word for “hands” can on rare
occasion refer to a wider area around the hands including the wrists, but the
dominant Christian understanding of the verse (including their prohibited
graven images) has always been that “hands” meant “hands.”
3. John
quoted Jesus telling Mary “Touch me not!”
16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. …17 Jesus saith unto
her, Touch
me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my
brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to
my God, and your God. John
20:16-17 (KJV)
Could it be that Jesus did not like a woman touching
him.
4. This
brings up still another problem. Christians claim that Jesus was god incarnate.
So just exactly when was he god?
a. When
born, as a baby?
b. During
his ministry?
b. When he
died?
c. When he
was resurrected? or
d. When he
ascended in the clouds???
If, as
Christians say, when Jesus was resurrected, who in the world (or out of
the world, as the case may be) did Jesus the “god” mean, when he said he was
going to ascend to himself? Or what did Jesus the “god” mean that he was going
to ascend to his god? God has a god to talk to ― only in Mormonism with
their generation of gods].
Must be a Christian thingy!
