If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you


This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

    Why does Paul need to mention that Jesus died around Passover? He was writing to Christians who knew that already!

      So why does Mark need to write it even later if "Christians knew that already"?

        That is because Mark is an ancient biography and is explicitly writing about the life of Jesus. Paul is writing a letter.

          Why does Paul need to mention that Jesus was crucified and resurrected? Didn't the Christians he was writing to already know that?

            Some goofuses were denying the physical resurrection of the dead.

              Paul does mention that, just not a physical resurrection as appears in the gospels (except Mark).

                Actually, Paul affirms the physical Resurrection.

                  Yes, the story makes a theological point, there's no good reason to think it's historically accurate. For Christians the Jewish sacrifice and consumption of the Passover lamb was an attempt to atone for sin. But Jesus was the one true sacrifice sacrifice for sin. This is why Christ is known as the Lamb of God.

                    Right!

                    1 Corinthians 15:16-19New American Standard Bible (NASB)

                    16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised; 17 and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied.

                      I didn't ask whether he mentioned it. I asked why he mentioned it if his readers already knew about it. "They already knew" was supposed to explain why he didn't mention any other facts about Jesus.

                          Rhinestone you have been told numerous times not to derail other threads with your Paul believed in a spiritual resurrection nonsense. You can keep that in your own thread http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/sh...tion-of-Christ

                            The derail has been moved to "Gary & Rhinestone's Thread on Burial and Resurrection of Christ" in this forum.
                            Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

                              I was not commenting on the OP. I was responding to this particular comment by Christianbookworm: "Why does Paul need to mention that Jesus died around Passover? He was writing to Christians who knew that already!"
