Hi Jabar,
You quoted Luke 24: 36-45, and ignored the order of narratives in Luke 23:32-46. In studying and reading the narratives, we don’t jump-in to a portion of narratives, and make it as the proof that He was not crucified. It is like you are reading a novel, and picked the last chapter thus making it your conclusion as the right one. This kind of approach is absolutely unacceptable. Why violate the very basic rule of reading?
I’m so surprised on how you validated that Jesus was not crucified. Luke 23:32-46 was stated clearly that He was crucified.
Who say that the Bible is not the word of God? What is your proof that it is not?
I used the Living Bible to further understand what Paul is saying.
1 Cor. 15:38-49
38. then
God gives it a beautiful new body--just the kind he wants it to have; a different kind of plant grows from each kind of seed.
39. And just as there are different kinds of seeds and plants, so also there are different kinds of flesh. Humans, animals, fish, and birds are all different.
40. The angels in heaven have bodies far different from ours, and the beauty and the glory of their bodies is different from the beauty and the glory of ours.
41. The sun has one kind of glory while the moon and stars have another kind. And the stars differ from each other in their beauty and brightness.
42
. In the same way, our
earthly bodies which
die and
decay are
different from the bodies we shall have when we come back to life again, for they will never die.
43. The bodies we have now embarrass us for they become sick and die; but they will be full of glory when we come back to life again. Yes, they are weak, dying bodies now, but when we live again they will be full of strength.
44. They are just
human bodies at death, but when they come back to life they will be superhuman bodies. For just as there are natural, human bodies,
there are also supernatural, spiritual bodies.
45. The Scriptures tell us that the first man, Adam, was given a natural, human body but Christ is more than that, for he was life-giving Spirit.
46. First, then, we have these human bodies and later on God gives us spiritual, heavenly bodies.
47. Adam was made from the dust of the earth, but Christ came from heaven above.
48. Every human being has a body just like Adam's, made of dust, but all who become Christ's will have the same kind of body as his--a body from heaven.
49. Just as each of us now has a body like Adam's, so we shall some day have a body like Christ's.
This is simply telling us about God giving us a new (heavenly) body which is not the earthly bodies. It is the same body.
What eyewitness you are looking for?
eyewitness that He was crucified? I just quoted Luke 23:32-46 before about the crucifixion of Jesus. Here are the eyewitness (bold letter).
Luke 23:47-48
47. Now when the
centurion saw what had happened, he began praising God, saying, "Certainly this man was innocent."
48. And all the multitudes who came together for this spectacle, when they observed what had happened, began to return, beating their breasts.
The Crucifixion
John 19:15-19
16. So he then delivered Him to them to be crucified.
17. They took Jesus therefore, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha.
18. There they crucified Him, and with Him
two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between.
19. And
Pilate wrote an inscription also, and put it on the cross. And it was written, "JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS."
John 19:23-27
23. The
soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took His outer garments and made four parts, a part to every soldier and also the tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece.
24. They said therefore to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be"; that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "They divided My outer garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots."
25. Therefore the soldiers did these things. But there were standing by the cross of Jesus
His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
26. When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and
the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold, your son!"
27. Then He said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her into his own household.
John 19:38:42
38. And after these things
Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. He came therefore, and took away His body.
39. And
Nicodemus came also, who had first come to Him by night; bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight.
40.
And so they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.
41. Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been laid.
42. Therefore on account of the Jewish day of preparation, because the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.
I don’t think anybody will deny those narratives in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. It is very clear here.
