They were only looking for the worldly Position when Jesus could have been the world king of the Jews as they taugth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don W Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 As stated above, the disciples were all very disheartened, discouraged, and in hiding from the Jews and the Romans so they wouldn’t be doing anything with the body of Jesus because they believed that He was buried dead and gone. Only after His resurrection appearances to them (and 500 others) did they believe that what Jesus had told them before was absolutely the truth—which He would die and then be resurrected to live forever in 3 days after His death! Hallelujah! The Lord is risen indeed!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marloes Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Q3. How does the disciples' psychological state after the crucifixion provide excellent support for belief in the resurrection? They knew He was really dead for seeing "The water and the blood, from thy wounded side which flowded". Therefore, they didn't believe He has risen when the women came to tell them. No, they had to see Him many times where He had to prove He was no ghoast but a true body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynthiaphillips Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 As mentioned by many posters, the disciples were completely stunned and demoralized by Jesus's death. On this point, however, proponents of the "vision" and "hallucination" theories agree with us (literalists). In fact, the disciples' state of utter desolation is fertile ground, it is argued, for an altered state of reality to appear more real, whether that be a visual hallucination or a firm conviction of a spiritual presence; an "aliveness" of Jesus that endured beyond the grave. For other reasons, the hallucination theory is weak (how could 500 people have the same hallucination, etc.) It is with the vision theory that we must contend. One other member mentioned the speed of the emotional turnaround experienced by the disciples. I find this to be a very compelling point.

iam4-1god Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Q3. How does the disciples' psychological state after the crucifixion provide excellent support for belief in the resurrection? The disciples were totally dejected to the point of despondance because they knew that Jesus was dead-they saw His dead body. And because they didn't believe in His resurrection, they were assuming that the women didn't know what they were talking about. Only when they saw Him with their own eyes, could they believe that He had been resurrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurselaino Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Q3. How does the disciples' psychological state after the crucifixion provide excellent support for belief in the resurrection? At this point the disciples had lost faith. The man they had been following had been killed in the most horrendous way. They were hiding in fear for their own lives right now. Even the one that loved Jesus had lied about his knowing and following Him out of fear. They had lost all hope. From here they had no idea where life was taking them. At this point they did not even believe what Jesus had been saying about being raised from the dead. They did not understand what He had been telling them. They were in no position to make up a story about Jesus returning to life. They were wondering more about how they were to return to the life of the living.

hanks Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Q3. How does the disciples' psychological state after the crucifixion provide excellent support for belief in the resurrection? The psychological state of the disciples, after the resurrection, disproves the theft theory and supports belief in the resurrection. We find the disciples all perplexed, dejected and discouraged, disheartened, scattered, and even in hiding - huddled in hidden rooms. Two had even left town and were on their way to Emmaus. They never expected a resurrection, although Jesus had told them. They were in no state to get involved in any conspiracy. Then there was the remarkable change in all of them once they had realized the implication of the resurrection and had met the resurrected Jesus.

DaveCote Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 At this time the disciples were scared, they were afraid that they were going to be next if the Romans could get their hand on them. Knowing how men act when they are afraid they were in hidding somewhere, and wanted to be left alone. But God had other plans for these men, They were forced to come out of hidding and witness the mircule that God had in store for them.

Emma2 Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 How does the disciples' psychological state after the crucifixion provide excellent support for belief in the resurrection? To my mind it shows that the last thing they were planning to do was to stage a fake resurrection....because they didn't even believe it would happen! The ones who knew him were so devastated they couldn't see past the tomb. Jesus had to appear to a couple of them and remind them of the age-old prophesies pointing to his life, and the events of the last few days. Had any of his followers even remembered those prophesies, and the things he'd said of himself, they would have been eagerly looking forward to it, rather than hiding from the wrath of the Jewish leaders. And the fact is also impressive that it was women who brought the breathtaking news of the empty tomb, and Mary seeing Jesus. Had the disciples been clever-minded enough to plan such a scheme, they would have chosen people with more public credibility to break the news. If this was a scheme, they were shooting themselves in the feet, so to speak. Instead, they were cowering in fear, just like they did in the garden when the arresters arrived. Poor Thomas didn't even believe the reports of the eyewitnesses. Unfortunately I can relate to the fear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jubilee Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Q3. How does the disciples' psychological state after the crucifixion provide excellent support for belief in the resurrection? They were downcast, depressed, and scared. They went into hiding for fear of the religious authorities. They put their faith, hope, and trust in Jesus and they thought that his death brought an end to their aspirations and dreams. Even though Jesus repeatedly told them that they were going to Jerusalem and the Son of Man has to suffered in the hands of the authorities died, buried, and rose from the dead on the third day they did not understand what he was telling them. They were not expecting Jesus to rise from the dead. The women who saw him and reported to the disciples yet they did not believe it.

noksidam Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Q3. How does the disciples' psychological state after the crucifixion provide excellent support for belief in the resurrection? If you believe the gospels accounts they were depressed, discouraged and afraid. Even though Jesus predicted it, they did not expect Jesus to die and even less to raise from the dead. Of course, they may have faked it knowing that they would create a resurrection story; but then the problem stays the same: "men do not risk their lives and suffer martyrdom for a lie". Men may die for a lie they believe to be true but the disciples would have known it to be a lie and would not have agreed to die for it. It makes no sens.

mc'el4life Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Q3. How does the disciples' psychological state after the crucifixion provide excellent support for belief in the resurrection? in the sense that after the death and burial of Jesus they lived in fear of being arrested and killed so thy were hiding, confused, disappointed, discouraged, disheartened this is a proof that they do not have an idea of when Jesus' body left the tomb. When they saw Jesus resurrected body they understood all prophesies and teachings of Jesus Christ Himself concerning His death and resurrection and saw no basis to fear but rather has the faith and zeal to continue what Christ charged them to do.

rosegarden Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Q3. How does the disciples' psychological state after the crucifixion provide excellent support for belief in the resurrection? Before the resurrection of Jesus, the disciples, were in hiding, afraid, discouraged, disheartened at the crucifixion and death of Jesus. They loved him and did not want him dead. They forgot that Jesus had previously predicted His resurrection. They did not at first believe the report of Jesus resurrection, but when He appeared to them in person, they believed. I am sure they were filled with Joy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonesjp Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Q3. How does the disciples' psychological state after the crucifixion provide excellent support for belief in the resurrection? Ans. First of all the disciples were afraid and hidden. They did not believe that Jesus’ had risen when the women told them. Peter and John ran down to the tomb and what they found left Peter heavy in thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haar Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 The disciples were in a terrifying fearful state of mind and in hiding at the arrest and crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ. They could not then have risked their lives to steal the body of Christ or even do anything that will put them at risk. The sudden boost in their faith was their conviction of the ressrection brought about after they visited the empty tomb, jesus appearance to them etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 The disciples were afraid for their own lives, discouraged, and heartbroken after Jesus Christ crucifixion. Men do not risk their lives and suffer martyrdom for a lie. The disciples' psychological state following Jesus' crucifixion and their disbelief in His resurrection proves they could not have stole the body. When they saw Jesus for themselves that's when they believed in His resurrection and their lives were changed forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
