Christians around the world celebrate this Sunday Easter Sunday, three days after death, the moment Christ He defeated death, resurrected and climbed to heaven.
The Gospel of Luke describes in her 24th chapter: “On the first day of the week, tomorrow, they came to Sebulkar and brought the aromatic spices they made and some other women with them. And got the grave from the back of Sepulkar; As they enter, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. “
Obviously, this is another miracle of the Messiah, but there is interpretation and science for one of the specific details of the story of science: How to move the shut -covered stone.
As Daily mail In a statement, ‘natural’ Christians prefer to avoid explanations beyond the established rules of physics, but still find out A way to match the biblical history.
Earthquake theory
From this point of view, any natural explanation will always increase a natural explanation, although it is not possible. To explain how to withdraw the stone, some theories have signed for that possibility A large earthquake I would have opened a crack in the grave.
Surprisingly, this extraordinary theory has some support in the Gospels. According to the Gospel of Matthew, Two big earthquakes At the time of Jesus’ death and resurrection.
Teacher Lawrence MicideeThe expert in the Hebrew Bible of the University of Burdu says: “He is right to say that an earthquake is actually open to the graves.”
According to Matto Chapter 27:50, when Jesus dies, “the earth trembled, The rocks were broken and the graves were opened. “
Says Professor Akithic: “The first earthquake was when Jesus died, two thousand years ago, two thousand years ago, but His body was still crucifiedSo the first earthquake could not have affected its tomb. “
“But the fact that the second earthquake is, violence, This time is the dawn of dawn Easter ”, The scholar continues. Therefore, it is fully concluded with the facts exposed in the Bible, which may have been an open earthquake of the grave.
In addition, there is scientific evidence that supports the report that there was an earthquake at the time. Geometrics German Geological Physics Research Center They examined the mudslides extracted from the surrounding areas of the Dead Sea to search for historical earthquakes.
When researchers examined these samples, the evidence of a large earthquake was found in 31 BC. C. And a small earthquake in between 26 and 36 d. CThe estimated date of fulfilling Jesus.
Stolen body theory
Another theory call ‘Stolen body’, It suggests that the disciples stole Jesus’ body in an attempt to lie to the resurrection. This theory was formally suggested by a Christian Jewish works for the first time in the 5th century Our toothotothBut it may go further.
The Gospel of Matthew, which describes the time after Jesus’ death confirms that the clergy of the city have begun Rumor that the body was stolen.
However, this story does not mean greatly compared to some of the crucified data. The biblical story describes it A group of Roman soldiers It was sent to the grave accurately to avoid this type of external interference.
Says Professor Makidiq: “Although Jesus remembers and believed that the disciples would be resurrected on the third day – this is certainly not believed -. They will have to face the soldiers Romans to steal the body. Good luck for that! “
Similarly, what we know about the nature of the disciples says that they do not understand or accept the idea that Jesus will resurrect from the dead. “Even though you have seen that there is no body in the grave, The cotton sector does not understand“Says Professor Mukituk.
“He or others are not in a position Face the segment of Roman soldiers They could have assassinated them, ”says the teacher.
Fainting theory
The third theory is ‘faint’. Some scientists argued that Jesus had never been crucified. In an article published International magazineGeologist Leonard Irvine Eisenberg He kept the so -called doctrine, and Jesus was only left on the cross, and was taken to Sebulkal after it was declared wrong.
Jesus, who escaped from his wounds, could have healed enough to escape the grave, creates the illusion that it would be Resurrected from the dead.
Although it seems very fictional, we have at least a relatively reliable historical record of a crucified person. Jewish historian Professor Mimittuk points outFlavio Josepho, He lived in the 1st century AD. C., This is said to have seen a friend who survived the deadly punishment.
In his autobiography, Josephus wrote that he rescued his three crosses, “Two of them are dead Under the doctor’s handsThe third was recovered. “
As for how Jesus can survive, the guardians of the principle of anesthesia point to the reason for the crucifixion This is dangerous.
Teacher Gary habmmasThe medical consensus of the University of Liberty, the clinic, is the ones who have been crucified. When the victim hangs, the weight of her body is crushing the chest muscles and finally breathing, killing her after hours or even days of unbearable torture.
However, the guardian of the principle, Douglas Keenan, argued that Jesus can actually survive for 20 minutes ‘Sinking reflex’. However, experts unanimously agree that the ‘anesthetic theory’ is a pure discovery.
