| 10/8/25 | Was Jesus Buried in a Tomb? | I was sent a video created by @Paulogia in which he responds to three apologists that critique his doubts that Jesus was buried in a tomb. In my video, I provide not so much a systematic rebuttal but rather put things into historical perspective. I do not provide incontestable proof that Jesus was buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea but rather why I believe it is most probable that tradition is correct.Please visit me at https://www.stephenjbedard.com/apologeticsConsider supporting me through http://www.patreon.com/hopesreasonFollow me ay http://www.x.com/sjbedard and http://www.facebook.com/hopesreason and http://www.instagram.com/sjbedard | — | ||||||
