  • Two disturbing facts about the Resurrection of Jesus

    Two disturbing facts about the Resurrection of Jesus
    May 3 2025
    The Greco-Roman world had very dark understandings of death and the possibility of continued existence. The Jews, late in their history, came to a belief among, at least the Pharisees, that a resurrection of the dead would happen at the end of time. The Christians upended all of that - Christ is risen and the tomb is empty. Deal with it!
