Quote:Because if it was a literal, historical event, then one has to ask why no one else ever mentioned it.
Why can't Waterrock just admit that the writer of Matthew intended to infer (imply) that the body of the saints were risen to life and people saw them?
Why there's no record of Pilate asking Rome for priests or sorcerers with the power to put zombies back in the grave?
Why no other historian repeated accounts of the event as proof of Jesus being the messiah, OR of being in league with Satan?
An uncounted number of dead rose from their graves at Jesus' death, hung out in the cemetary for the weekend, then walked through the city when Jesus rose again. Wouldn't that be about the biggest news item of the century? Where's the corroboration? The report? THe mass flocking of pilgrims to the graves of the saints that conquered death?
