Well, I suppose if I was the evangelical type I would probably think they were taken bodily to Heaven as Jesus was after he had risen. However, the most likely scenario is that no resurrection took place.
They could have been taken up to Heaven as Hitchey said; in fact, I think the Gospel of Nicodemus corroborates this opinion.
I don't understand your question. Can you clarify?
You agreed with hitchy. So where were they taken up to? If you say heaven, then tell us where in the universe heaven is.
Heaven as a place exists outside of the physical universe. No space probe will ever find "Heaven" because it's not within the universe.
So there are places outside the universe? Have you been there received a letter from there?
Tell me, do you know what the word "faith" means? And do you know how it relates to this discussion?
Where did you come from?
"faith" is guessing without evidence.
I assume they'd have died (again) by now. It doesn't say they were immortal.
Well that's the point of this thread. The "word" of God says they came out of their graves and walked in the holy city which is Jerusalem. So where are they today and how come the Bible nor any other book from that time tells us where they are?
I would guess that where they are buried is of no importance or weren't to the author of Matthew. Maybe it was only important to Matthew that they came back.
So the "word" of God is incomplete?
I wouldn't say that. I would say that they only relate what they found important.
Do you know how it relates to this discussion? I sense you didn't make this topic to get a better understanding of Matthew.
