forgery no. 18 in the bible - The Resurrection of the Saints

[abcd]

Matthew 27:52-53~ And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of their graves after His resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

This astounding account appears in Matthew's narrative immediately following Jesus’ death. That means the saints were resurrected sometime late Friday afternoon thereby contradicting Acts 26:23 which says that Jesus will be "the first to rise from the dead". Having risen, the saints did not go into Jerusalem until after Jesus was resurrected. The exact date and time of Jesus alleged resurrection is never given. It can only be assumed that it took place sometime prior to the following Sunday morning when the women discovered the empty tomb Therefore, we are to believe that these resurrected saints were content to just sit in their open graves from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning. Be that as it may, however, this event, if true, ranks as the most electrifying miracle ever recorded. By rights it should consume whole chapters of contemporary history. Had it really happened, it would be reviewed at length in official government documents as well as in religious scriptures. It would have been the chosen theme of all New Testament writers because it would have proven their doctrine, their cause and their apostleship. Yet we find that it is mentioned only in an offhanded manner by a single gospel writer and totally ignored by everyone else. What is most revealing, however, is that both Mark and Luke contain in sequence the passages immediately preceding and following Matthew 27:52-53 almost verbatim.

The writer of Matthew did not bother to tell us who those resurrected saints were. Nor did he deem it important to tell us what happened to them afterwards. Did they return to their graves? If they did not, where are they now? According to the passage they appeared to many. But where are the eyewitness accounts? Did they go to claim their wives and property which they had owned at the time of their death? If so, how were they received? It is strange indeed that not another word was ever written about what undoubtedly ranks as the most amazing event in all of history. But why was such an outlandish statement included?

In Zechariah 14:4-6 it prophecies that when Israel is under attack God will come to the rescue and all the saints will come with him. Because the writer of Matthew was obsessed with the need to have Jesus fulfill Old Testament prophesy, he was compelled to somehow include saints. Because there were apparently no recognized saints living at that time, his only alternative was to resurrect some. So, out of sheer desperation he simply inserted verses 52 and 53 at the appropriate place in chapter 27. His clumsy attempt to deceive is obvious. This so-called miracle never happened.

Laws of Rape in the Bible

(Deuteronomy 22:28-29)

New American Standard Bible (©1995)
"If a man finds a girl who is a virgin, who is not engaged, and seizes her and lies with her and they are discovered,
then the man who lay with her shall give to the girl's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall become his wife because he has violated her; he cannot divorce her all his days."

If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.

What kind of allegedly Divine book would make a rape victim marry her attacker!?

No sane person could ever believe that God Almighty inspired this evil law, and as such must attribute this to further examples of fabrications and corruptions found in the Bible.
