I was always perplexed by Matt 27:50-53. “And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom, and the earth shook; and the rocks were split, and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised…"
It sounded like a fairy tale. It is unnature. At the moment of His death, unnatural things happened. a) the veil of the temple was torn b) the earth shook c) the rocks split d) and most perplexing, the tombs opened and bodies ‘floated’ up to the sky..
Shall I take these passages of the Book of Mathew literally?
Miracles continued to happen today, 2000 years after the death of Christ. But the miracles today are nothing against nature. These are miracles relating to people and persons. For example someone ‘suddenly’ was healed of the tumor in his body; someone blind could 'suddenly' open his eyes and see. There are no miracles such as those performed by Jesus against nature 2000 years ago, such as feeding 5000 with 2 fishes and 5 loaves, such as walking several kilometers on water.
If I believe that Jesus can feed 5000 with just 2 fishes and 5 loaves, then I must believe Matt 27:50-53 literally.
Do you believe that the rotten bodies of the deceased saints had been resurrected and 'floated up the sky' during the first exercise of resurrection the moment Jesus died on the cross?
