Twitter locked me out of @curtismlynch. This is my new account. I am trying to get my original followers back.

@GeoffKrombach @TheBabylonBee The formation of a conclusion based upon the evidence of the resurrection of Jesus Christ by abductive reasoning or a posteriori would be greatly influenced by your worldview or philosophy. Because man is not omniscient, faith enters the picture.

@curtmlynch @TheBabylonBee See the book Doubting Jesus' Resurrection: What Happened in the Black Box?

If Jesus' Resurrection Were A Hoax

@curtmlynch @TheBabylonBee Or they were mistaken and died

@AJTANDY78 @TheBabylonBee “And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.” Luke 22:20 NASB

@TheBabylonBee JESUS WAS AN ORTHODOX JEW. UNDER THAT FAITH, THERE IS NO REBIRTH OR RESURRECTION POSSIBLE. JESUS NEVER RENOUNCED JUDAISM. THE NOTION OF A NEW COVENANT IS NONSENSE.

@hatfield0813 @TheBabylonBee See the following for secular evidence of the resurrection: Roman historians Tacitus Pliny the Younger Suetonius Lucian of Samosa Jewish historians Josephus The Talmud Early Christian sources Eusebius of Caesarea Tertullian Phlegon

@TheBabylonBee Maybe it was a hoax. No one can be certain it really happened

@AJTANDY78 @TheBabylonBee “Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilate..." (Annals 15.44). Tacitus 116 AD

@TheBabylonBee JESUS RESURRECTION IS BASED ON THE TESTIMONY OF ONLY A FEW PEOPLE AND CANNOT BE OTHERWISE VERIFIED

In 1986, the American Medical Association published an article titled "The Physical Death of Jesus Christ". It details the entire process of Jesus' trial to His death on the cross. In Luke 22, before Jesus is arrested, it is written that He was in great distress & sweating blood. Although rare, it is recognized as Hematidrosis, a condition caused by high levels of stress. At the time, the crucifixion was considered the worst death for the worst of criminals. But this is not all Jesus faced. He endured whipping so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. He was beaten so horribly that His face was torn & His beard ripped. A crown of thorns, 2-3 inches long cut deeply into His scalp. The leather whip used to flog Him had tiny iron balls & sharp bones. The balls caused internal injuries while the sharp bones ripped open His flesh. His skeletal muscles, veins, & bowels are exposed, causing major blood loss. Most men do not survive this kind of torture. After Jesus was severely flogged, He was forced to carry His cross while people mocked & spat on Him. Crucifixion was a process meant to instill excruciating pain, creating a slow & agonizing death. Nails as long as 8 inches were driven into Jesus' wrists & feet. The Roman soldiers knew the tendons in the wrists would tear & break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support Himself to breathe. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the courage...Jesus endured this reality for 3 hours! The Gospel of John writes that after Jesus' death, a Roman soldier pierced His side with a spear & blood & water came out. Scientists explain that from hypovolemic shock, the rapid heart rate causes fluid to gather in the sack around the lungs & heart. The accumulation of fluid in the membrane around the heart is called a Pericardial effusion & the lungs is called a pleural effusion. To the world, Christianity is as foolish as it can get. They believe it's for the weak. But when you are confronted by the reality of the cross, it's clearly not a pretty sight. It is brutal & horrific. This is the weight Jesus carried. The weight of the sins of the world, all so that we can live. God's wrath is fully satisfied in Jesus. This is what it took. Repent & believe! Jesus is “God among us” in the flesh. Jesus is our Savior. Jesus loves you so much that He went through this spiritual and physical punishment for your sins and mine. Jesus is the LORD, Almighty God, Everlasting Father. Thank You, Jesus.

Understand this: The movies and shows about the crucifixion have been tame when compared to what He actually went through. Even The Passion Of The Christ was forced to hold back a little in order to avoid an X rating. Crucifixion was, and still is, arguably the most excruciating death someone can experience. The night before in Gethsemane, He was sweating blood. This is known as hematidrosis. This would have caused His skin to become extremely sensitive, thus making the beatings to come even worse. The fear He felt was the beginning of His feeling the weight of our iniquities being laid on Him. Yet - in this moment, He didn’t demand that the Father take it from Him. He only asked for the cup to pass Him over if it was within the Father’s will. Up next came the Cat of Nine Tails, or a Roman Flagrum. This was a weapon with long leather “tails”, each embedded with sharp bones and metal. He was flogged 39 times as Jewish law mandated “40 minus one”, because 40 was said to kill a man. This flogging wasn’t like being punished by your father’s leather belt. Every strike tore flesh, every strike exposed muscle. Every strike exposed nerve endings. Every strike tore flesh to the bone. This would be like getting struck with razor blades over and over again, leading to hypovolemic shock from blood loss. Oh, and the crown of thorns? These weren’t rose thorns. These were thorns which were 2-3 inches long. Beaten into his skull. These thorns would have pierced his skull, tripping the trigeminal nerve, thus causing unimaginable pain and even more blood loss from the dozens of head wounds. At this point, extreme nausea and dizziness would begin to set in. What came next? Carrying the cross. Which weighed around 300lbs. This would be like carrying two full kegs on your back. Splinters and wood grating against the open flesh on His back. And He had to carry it 650 yards, or close to a half mile. Imagine carrying a log on your back after being skinned alive. Up next? He was nailed to the cross with spikes 5-7in in length. Piercing His wrists - this no doubt pierced the median nerve, causing extreme burning sensations up and down His arms. A spike was driven through his ankles - severing nerves and tendons. This would have felt like standing on broken glass every time He pushed Himself up in order to breathe. He suffered for 6 hours. His chest muscles collapsing, making every single breath a fight for life. His shoulders were dislocated, His arms stretching unnaturally long. His heart was struggling to pump blood. He was extremely dehydrated, His lips cracking. His heart more than likely literally ruptured from the stress. And on top of all of that, He had to feel a separation with the Father for a period of time in order to REALLY bear the weight of our sin. He took up this burden for ALL sin before Him, and ALL sin which came after Him. HE DID IT ALL FOR US. To free us. To defeat sin. To give us a pathway to the Kingdom. Every sin we commit is exactly why He had to do it. And the real kicker? He knew what was coming when He rode into Jerusalem … and He didn’t turn around. He kept going. For us.

While Scripture is encountered a posteriori through human experience, I accept it a priori as the divine revelation of God and the ultimate authority for truth.

@TheOfficerTatum What's unfortunate is that for society to change, somebody has to incur an unfair penalty in order for the "blind" to see.

🚨: What the Chicago Bulls and NBA did to Jaden Ivey is WRONG! If he was promoting chaos, sex, and degeneracy, they’d celebrate him. But the moment someone speaks about faith and Jesus Christ, suddenly it’s “a problem.” Funny how “tolerance” only goes one way.

TMZ flips the script and does real reporting. They finally call out Democrats and say EVERYONE in congress needs to be voted out They have evidence of Congress partying like they’re on Spring Break while everyone else has to deal with the shutdown “It's not the other party, it's both parties and we are kind of sick of the way they are patronizing us and that's why we're doing this. Something has to change” “We have talked about what we call the outer movement, OWTA out with their asses, voting everybody out, even the ones you like to reset things and make it clear to the next group. Here is our expectation that you will keep the government open, that federal workers will get paid. And if you don't do that, we're gonna throw you out. Like we threw your predecessors out. So that seems to be the only maybe last resort of regaining some power”
