The Resurrection of Jesus, I'm stuck on this one.

[Josephine2006]

So I believe in the LORD our God, he saved my life. I was in the most awful of situations, I called for God to help me. I said out loud to him, I don't know how much more of this can I take. He took it away from me and saved me. I feel like I have received the Holy Spirit through him (for the second time round just days ago). Yet I'm still struggling with the story of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. I have a block that I can't shift.
I asked God what should I do to solve this as it's upsetting me. He said ask the community.

The problem I'm having is that of the Resurrection. I keep getting this in my head this theory of what REALLY happened.

So firstly what the Bible says is; Jesus was nailed to the cross and was left to die. Someone said, He is dead and they brought him down from the cross and put him in the cave and rolled over the heavy stone to block the entry. Three days later the rock had moved to reveal that Jesus was alive and had been resurrected. That it had been an act of God so more people would believe and it showed how great God is.

I can't help but think that Jesus on the cross, had passed out. That the people who took him off the cross realised that Jesus was actually unconscious not dead. (They were believers of Jesus and wanted to help him.) The best chance these people had of helping him was to put him in the cave, letting people THINK he was dead. The people who knew he was unconscious hoped (prayed) that he would become conscious again while he was in the cave. Then Jesus waited for the stone to be moved (or called for the guards to remove the stone after he had recovered) from the cave opening and people would see that he was alive and they would think it an act of God. I know the rational thing is to say that it goes against all that God is about, the truth and that Jesus could never lie to his people.
It's a block I can not shift.
Any advice would be gratefully received. Thank you.
I'm so sorry if I have upset anyone with this post.

 

[Samson2020]

The Bible tells us that HE GAVE UP THE GHOST i.e. died. And ALL scripture is inspired by the Holy Spirit, and God cannot lie.
The Roman soldier stuck a spear in his side to check on his condition and pronounced him dead, that's why they didn't break his legs like the other two that were
crucified with him. I would think they knew death when they saw it, as a soldier would be looking for any kind of reaction to the spear piercing. And the Romans had his body
for a little while before the body was delivered to a man named Joseph who went to Pilate to beg for the body. Matthew 27:57-58
Hope that helps.

Somewhere in your walk your gonna have to take the bible as the WORD OF GOD and accept it as the only authority of the TRUTH otherwise you'll continue to be double minded on everything, and that will only cause continual confusion. Trust God that It's right and true.

Like you said before Samson: if that “Spirit” has not enter her that was in Jesus that raise Him from the dead, she “cannot” comprehend “The resurrection of Jesus Christ” for only the “Holy Spirit” can give her”The Power” to experience the resurrecting power, in her being.

(Hebrews 6).
English Standard Version
If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

 

[Reba1]

The demons were planning on having a
party one night.
They got beer, Jack Daniels, and pretzels,
a little red wine, some white.
They were celebratin how they crucified
Christ on that tree.
But Satan, the snake himself, wasn't so at ease.
Well, he took his crooked finger,
And he dialed the phone by his bed,
To call an old faithful friend,
who'd know for sure if he was dead.
He said "Grave, grave tell me,

did my plan fail?"
Ole Grave just laughed and said
"Ah man, the dude is dead as nails."

On Friday night, they crucified
the Lord at calvary,
But he said, "Don't dread, in three days

I'm gonna live again, you'll see!"
When problems try to bury you,
and make it hard to pray,
It may seem like Friday Night,
but Sunday's on the way!

A tranquilizer and a horror flick,
could not calm Satan's fear.
So Saturday night, he calls up the grave,
scared of what he'd hear.
"Hey, grave, what's going on?"
Grave said,
"Man look you've called me twice,
and I'll tell you one more time boss,
the Jew's on ice."
The devil said, " Man grave,
you remember when,
Old Lazarus, was in his grave.

You see everything was cool
then four days later...
BOOM, old Lazarus, he was raised.
Now, this Jesus,
he is much more trouble
than anyone has ever been to me,
And look grave it's got old devil scause this man said
he'll only be dead three."

On Friday night, they crucified the Lord
at calvary,
But he said, "Don't dread, in three days
I'm gonna live again, you'll see!"
When problems try to bury you,
and make it hard to pray,

It may seem like Friday Night,
but Sunday's on the way!

Sunday morning Satan woke with a jump,
Ready to blow a fuse.
He was shaking from the tips of his
pointed ears,
To the toes of his pointy shoes.
"He said grave tell me is he alive,
I don't wanna lose my neck?"
Grave said "your evilness
maintain your cool
devil you are a wreck"

Grave said Cool your jets Big D,
my sting is still intact.
You see Jesus is dead forever
take it from the grave brother
he aint never coming back.
So just mellow out man,
just go drink up or shoot up,
but look devil just leave old grave alone
And I'll catch you la... la...
Oh no! Oh no! OH NO!

OH NO! Somebody's messin' with the stone!"

Well, then the stone was rolled away,
and it bounced a time or two,
and an angel stepped inside,
and said, "Yo I'm Gabriel, who are you?
If you're wondering where the Lord is,
at this very hour,
I tell ya he's alive and well,
with RESURRECTION POWER!"

Friday night they crucified the Lord at Calvary
But he said don't dread
He said in three days you can even count em boys
Im gonna be kickin again you'll see
When problems try to bury you
and make it hard to pray
It may seem like Friday Night
But i say Sunday
I'm here to tell you Sunday
The devil hates Sunday
I tell you Sunday is here to stay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Samson, I wasn't aware that a Roman soldier had stuck a spear in his side.
It's definitely sure that I need to get more involved with my Good News Bible! It's easier for me to understand.
Thank you again.

Maybe you might want to Try a Earlier copyright “NIV” 2010 or Earlier study Bible translation. “The Good News” is more of a “Paraphrase” than a translation of “The Original Text”. Just for your information.

I have the Revised English Bible, would that be okay? I will persevere, and try to understand more.
