In reply to Bob. I think what Paul was seeing was the Glorified body of Christ...the "Shekinah"...which Christ received after the Ascension ...the reason He went blind!

In reply to Garbanzo Bean. Jesus's body was laid in the tomb after the Crucifixion...with a huge boulder outside the entrance & under guard by Roman soldiers...then it was gone..so logically it follows that His physical body was with Him where ever He went...!

Paul's experience was a vision of a blinding light and disembodied voice. There was no "bodily" appearance. See Acts 9, 22, and 26.

In which work of ancient literature do we first see the expression, "...kick against the goads"? If you said in the book of Acts, the resurrected Jesus speaking to Paul on the Damascus Road, you would be wrong. This expression was first used in circa 450 BC in a work of Greek mythology, "The Bacchae" by Euripides, in a fictional conversation between a man/god, Dionysus, and his persecutor, the king of Thebes. Isn't it odd that Jesus would borrow an expression from Greek mythology in is appearance to the self-proclaimed, "Thirteenth Apostle"?

In reply to Randy Gritter. So, someone in Luke's audience questioned the physicality of the resurrection?

i want to take a different road on this matter, it seems to me that the majority of this post are just about history, is it not about time they update this information. he resurrected and ascended to heaven..shouldn't they tell us what he has been doing since he left for heaven, which side he was during the world wars, is the kingdom going to be giving to Israel, and some other new info or has he stopped inspiring people? just my take..

What he said was it did not happen.

Are you referring to Dale Martin? I've seen a few of his Yale videos, and if he said that in any of them, I've forgotten. Could I trouble you for a link to the one you're getting that from? Anyway, I agree that "There was no trial" is too strong a conclusion to infer from any of the evidence we actually have.

In reply to Doug Shaver. What he said was not that we can't be sure. What he said was it did not happen. Often historians will trust a single document and say this likely happened. Here we have a rare case where a written record actually makes him declare it did not happen.

In reply to Randy Gritter.

If the story was in anything but a biblical text I don't think he would be at all sure it is not historical.

I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I do not approach any document, ancient or otherwise, with the assumption "Whatever it says happened must have really happened," no matter how ordinary the narrative might be and no matter who wrote it.

In reply to Randy Gritter.

Yes, but it was a new development of an old doctrine. Jesus never claimed to be replacing their religion but rather fulfilling it.

One gospel author claimed he said so. What you are giving me is orthodox Christianity's interpretation of Jewish scripture. The fact that Jews themselves have never accepted that interpretation tells me that it is almost certainly a misinterpretation.
