1 Thessalonians 4:13–14 (The Message) 13 And regarding the question, friends, that has come up about what happens to those already dead and buried, we don’t want you in the dark any longer.

1 Corinthians 15:12–24 (NIV) 12But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. 15More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead… 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins…

Where was Jesus between when the tomb was sealed, when the tomb was opened by the angel and when He reappeared? What happened during this time???

If God knows people are going to become say a murderer or a rapist… why would He allow them on the earth if He knows they hurt people?

Why do we believe in the resurrection when we are not eye witnesses?

Why doesn’t God step in now when things are at the worst? He stepped in before, why not now?

Apart from the bible are there any secular writings that attest to the appearing before the 500 people?

John, can you remind us of how Jesus who had nothing came to get a tomb.

Why do we not hear accounts of Jesus “ministering” after his resurrection? Why no large-scale public profile like before?

Did Jesus ascend in body and spirit or spirit only? What happened to the body?
