Spurgeon:
“A Sermon, ‘THE RESURRECTION OF OUR LORD JESUS’, delivered on Sabbath Morning, April 9, 1882”
Spurgeon: “Then comes the grand truth, that as soon as ever the third sun commenced His shining circuit Jesus rose again. … before the sun had risen His dead body was quickened. … This is the truth which is still to be taught, refine it who may, spiritualize it who dare. This is the historical fact which the apostles witnessed; this is the truth for which the confessors bled and died. This is the doctrine which is the key-stone of the arch of Christianity, and they that hold it not have cast aside the essential truth of God. How can they hope for salvation for their souls if they do not believe that "the Lord is risen indeed"?”
GE:
NO! This, <<that as soon as ever the third sun commenced His shining circuit Jesus rose again. … before the sun had risen His dead body was quickened>>, IS NOT <<the grand truth>>, BUT THE GREAT LIE!
This is the LIE which must NOT be <taught>, which must not be <dared to be spiritualized>, however like here <refined>, by whoever like here, even Spurgeon himself!
<This>, <<that as soon as the third sun commenced His shining circuit Jesus rose again (that) before the sun had risen His dead body was quickened>>, is not the <historical fact> of the TIME of day when Jesus rose from the dead; it’s what Spurgeon like all Sunday resurrectionists want you to believe.
And by the way, it is NO <<historical fact the apostles witnessed>> Jesus’ resurrection.
How could they have <witnessed> Jesus rise if they did not even know that He had died because they knew crucified victims usually survived for days?
How could they have <witnessed> Him rise if they did not know that Jesus’ body was buried?
How could they have <witnessed> Him rise if they did not even know which grave and Mary had to tell them?
How could they have <witnessed> Him rise but did not know nor believed Mary who saw the stone away from the tomb?
How could they have <witnessed> Him rise if they all had fled and had left Jesus ALONE even before He was condemned to die or was delivered over to be crucified?
How could they have <witnessed> Him rise then hid themselves for fear of the Jews in total unbelief?!
How could they have <witnessed> Him rise <<as soon as the sun commenced His shining circuit before the sun had risen>> but were the very last to believe that He indeed rose only after He had appeared to them much later after the First Day of the week had been over?
How could <<this>>, be <<the truth for which the confessors bled and died>>?!
Can <<This>> be <<the doctrine which is the key-stone of the arch of Christianity>>?!
And how can <<they [like me] that hold it not have cast aside the essential truth of God>>?!
How can ANY <<hope for salvation for their souls if they do not believe that "the Lord is risen indeed"?>> No one can!
But <<this, that as soon as the third sun commenced His shining circuit Jesus rose again (that) before the sun had risen His dead body was quickened>>, IS ANOTHER MATTER, IS A LIE, IS ARROGANCE OF UNBELIEF AND DISOBEDIENCE!
