| | | Where did his body go? If Jesus was born to a human woman and lived as a human and then died and was then of spirit... where did his body go? If anyone else died and left their body behind it would take years to decompose... so where is Jesus' body... | | | | | | |

| Champ,
I believe Jesus(alaihi salaam) did not die but was taken to Heaven,he will return before this world ends.
He will live and die like any other human being,which would confirm that he was not God nor divine in anyway,a special human chosen by the Almighty to be a Messenger. | |

| In the Christian faith, he rose from the dead, so his body also rose. | |

However, as this is not the Christianity board, every other belief or view is here just as valid, be that based on belief in the Unicorn, the Spaghetti Monster, or whatever else someone wants to believe or disbelieve.
There are no remains of Jesus left in any way. There are even serious doubts if a person called Jesus ever existed. Some even suggest that Jesus' existence is entirely based on myth and belief only. Whatever is true : just as Jesus' birth is based on rather debateble claims, so are his (untraceable) remains. How conveniant !
Draw your own conclusions ... | |

| And to be honest what happened to his body is about the least of the issues of faith and beleif within Chrsitianity, Since even if he body had remained, it would be gone now, as any body of that time frame.
What one has is the writings of several of his followers that they saw him after his death. | |

| Chuck is as a Christian partially right to state that what happened to Jesus' body is (for him) " about the least of the issues of faith and beleif within Chrsitianity" .
But for many others this well may be a total different matter, and therefore the question posted is a fair one.
And as I stated earlier, "there are no remains of Jesus left in any way. There are even serious doubts if a person called Jesus ever existed. Some even suggest that Jesus' existence is entirely based on myth and belief only. Whatever is true : just as Jesus' birth is based on rather debateble claims, so are his (untraceable) remains. How conveniant !"
So better draw your own conclusions from that ...  | |

| Each religion teaches something different. As Credendovidis has stated it all depends on your own belief and your own conclusions.
For me personally, He was taken up to heaven. His body appeared to witnesses after his death with the wounds of the cruxification. | |

| Jesushelper76's view on this is a reply from a Christian perspective , and is based on - as he confirms himself - his Christian belief.
The non-religious facts are that Jesus's origins are highly questionable, with his father being claimed to be the Christian god, and his mother being a "virgin" till his own birth, his many "miracles"performed during his life, and his disappearance to heaven after death. And not one single iota of supported evidence for any of all these claims exists.
I respect what people believe in. However, belief is no objective support for any of the many claims on which Jesus' features and heritage are based.
The question was : "Where did his (Jesus) body go?"
The answer to that question can only be : "I believe that Jesus body ........" (and fill in whatever you believe).
If achampio21 expects some detailed information on a location, supported by some objective evidence, he is asking for the impossible.  | |

| Okay. I believe in a higher power I call that higher power God. I believe that we were created somehow by God. Because even if science proves that every single living thing that exists today evolved from one tiny speck of dirt someone or something had to put that tiny speck of dirt here it didn't just appear out of nowhere. But with that said my doubts come in when the bible is brought up. Because let's say that God created the universe and all the living things in it and then created Adam and Eve. Okay fine a nd dandy. BUT man created the bible. Not God. And the very bible itself says that man is of sin and can only be cleansed by having faith in God. And we all know that popes and priests and preachers and reverands who claim to be of God or whoever lie to their wives cheat on their wives molest kids and murder people and various other horrible things. So even the MOST highly acclaimed christians, Catholics and so on are lower than dirt. And also MAN created churches, not God. And if you look into most churches they basically run everything off of money from members or the gov. Including their own houses, utilities and vehicles and groceries. Because most of them do not have other jobs where they receive income. So... I have HUGE doubts in a book that was written by MAN that basically tells me that I have to give ten percent of my earnings to the church or I am not a good christian when the bible states that I can be forgiven and go to heaven if I just ask God to forgive me and believe in Jesus. Adam and Eve did not have to pay the city for a marriage license or pay a preacher to marry them they just were married and so where the thousands after them. Religion itself was created by man. Everyone believes a different way. And each reliegion has it's own "bible" and "laws" if you may of it's own. But from my small amount of research Most of those laws require people such as myself to give and give and give and the only thing I get is the promise of streets of gold and kissing Jesus's face. But in the meantime the preacher of the church that I am giving to is driving a mercades and living in a 200 thousand dollar house and getting hair implants. While I am struggling to pay my bills and feed my kids and you know what that man will tell me when I come to him with my problems.... We will have the church pray for you and have faith my child it will get better....
So you can see why I am very sceptical of a man written book faith that seems like the poetry scams right off the internet.
And the other thing that I find simply amazing is the people that say God gave us the intellegence to use science to find cures and make cars and television and blah blah blah but in reality WHY THE HELL WOULD GOD GIVE US INTELLEGENCE TO MAKE STUFF THAT DESTROYS WHAT HE MADE???? Seems kind of stupid to me.
Give me your ideas... Quote: |
