So what?
A lot of different kind of traditions have had smart prophets and such who could predict stuff and also spoke very different dogmas than those caming from the bible.
Hundreds of different versions of the bible do exist today, having differences in more than one passage. Not all of them are going to be perfectly faithful to God´s word so human management has definetely touched the scriptures.
we agree at two points, first roman did not bother to break legs of Jesus to hasten death since he thought He was already dead or he had fear to do this. breaking the legs would have been davestating due to the severe trauma of blood loss and consequential. hypovolemic shock by breaking one of the larger bones in body, the tibia in each leg. in gospel, it is mentioned that he did not break the legs of Jesus, why gospel tells this because it does mean something important about Jesus. not breaking legs is the meaningless issue for corpse. a fuller reading of psalm 34, verses 19 and 20 underscores it.It means that they think he is dead to be more accurate.
Jesus drank something before "dying". There were herb extracts in those times to make your body fake death, and that cuold well be what he was given. It is suspiecios that he died a lot quicker than most do as I understand. Techinicaly one dies because of asfixiation in a cross, and you can avoid it by using strength from your legs, that´s why the broke them. Now JEsus that seemed to be much of a wanderer it is curious that his legs were weak to the point of dying in around 9-6 hours. That is very prematour for most to what I have read.
(if your sources say otherwise though, I may re-check mine and then we may compare )
So any book professing to teach from God which talks of an afterlife (in the sense of living on as a spirit after one dies) then they are telling the same lie that Satan told Eve in the garden of Eden...."you positively will not die but you will become like God..."
like who? Nostradamus?
No. Prediction is not a prophecy. They are quite different. A prophecy always comes from God....anyone of us can 'predict' the future.
And true prophets never, NEVER, contradict each other. They cannot because what they preach/teach/prophecy stems from God...not themselves.
Your talking about 'translations' of the original text from hebrew/greek to another language though. Translations may change and there are certainly good and bad translations. But the fact is that what we have in the original languages is always the same because they did not need to translate them...they merely 'copied' them.
So a good translator can make a good translation and we can be sure that we are reading the word of God as it was meant to be read.
Turin Shroud is not "scientific proof" of anything.ahsanraza said:turin shroud is a scientific proof that Jesus did not die on cross, and there are countless scientific, historical proofs.
this is an amazing comment.
doesn't the bible talk about afterlife, does it?
The story confirms that the serpent was telling the truth which is the point when the serpent and humans got cursed/downgraded.this is an amazing comment.

im afraid not.
The hebrew scriptures speak only of Sheol... that is the hebrew word for the grave.
King Solomon said that at death, mankind return to the dust and become non existent.
The prophet Ezekiel said that the soul who sins, dies.
God told Adam that when he dies, he will return to the place he came....the dust.
The scriptures do not teach that we live on as spirits when we die.
I was commenting to the "lie" that we would become gods. The statement your referencing was to debunk the lie that god told when he said we would die if we ate the fruit. We didn't die until god decided to put a countdown on our lifespans. I couldn't be certain if the serpent knew that would happen.well the serpent told eve 'You positively will not die'
yet where is she today?
Nope, "Sheol" can possibly be interpreted as a metaphor for the grave, but it was translated as "Hades" for good reason. And David says things like "My soul will go on to live in the land of Shadows". Not only that, but the Torah specifically commands the Israelites to not speak to the Spirits of the dead. That should cover it completely. What Ezekiel said is that the soul who sins will die....in the flesh. Same with Adam and Eve. Going back to the dust means no more life in the current body. And then there's the episode of the Witch of Endor calling Samuel's soul from the Grave.
The Tanakh is filled with references to the afterlife. It's the non-believers in the soul and the afterlife who have to twist and turn the text to get it to say something completely different.

It was a white lie. We were being deceived on both sides by not telling us the whole truth.wow, you really think God lied about us dying?

You mean I've just spent all of my 40+ years devoutly entrenched in a sham of a religion??according to ahmadyia community, Jesus died normally in Kashmir, India. in fact jews tried to crucify Him but they failed and then Jesus escaped and went to India, after that He spent His life in India.
