If the bible is true....why didn't some contemporary historians get around to mentioning the zombie apocalypse as described in matthew? [Spirituality & Religion]

@Celine Right, so did that happen or is this kind of like a prophecy type of thing?

@Celine I see. So Jesus wasn't alone in his resurrection. This leads me to wonder what exactly the holy city is but I guess it just gets more and more complicated.

@Celine Isn't the holy city heaven? I might be wrong but for some reason I thought it was. If that's the case then there wouldn't be a record of them being raised because they're transcending the mortal plane.

@Celine Yes, but in the Bible's context, I thought it was heaven. 🤷‍♂️

@Celine Ah, okay. So then he is referring to an actual place. Perhaps the saints appeared to be quite human and ordinary and not like zombies so they didn't make a huge scene? I mean it's odd to see people who are supposed to be dead walking, but maybe most people didn't even realize they were once dead because they appeared normal?

@Celine This was a very long time ago. How would everyone know of each and every Saint who passed? Did they have some sort of mass media back then to keep everyone informed making Saints super famous in the process? Did Saints make sure to go around and introduce themselves to everyone in the holy city? I'm skeptical of the publicizing that could happen at that time. I feel like because of that era, individual Saints and all their relations were a relatively private matter. So making big history in any context outside of the "cult" wouldn't be a very likely possibility.

@Celine You're right, but it certainly did make history. Maybe not to many credible sources, but you can't expect these things to. News at that time was very... limited. Anyways it survived in the Bible. From what I understand Jesus was very despised and appeared to be nothing more than a problem to a good number of people at the time. So maybe his teachings were suppressed to the point they could only survive in the Bible, his remaining followers, and nowhere else. Over time it lost substance and strength until it became nothing more than the religion of faith we see today with very little if any credibility.

@Celine a saint in the Bible is difrent than a saint recognized by the church. In early Christian culture, a saint was simply one who followed christs true teachings alive or dead. Those Christ recognized as having the Holy Spirit after babtism. These could have been lowly peasants to church elders. No slaying of dragons or miracles required

@Celine It's hard to say. As big a deal as all that was to Jerusalem, I feel like many other places in the world can also claim incredible things from their history. Hence the presence of so many religions. The point I'm making is that the actual content of history no matter how accurate or mythical it may be, is still so far back there is no way to know for sure as records were not as concrete or significant as they are now. Much could have been lost or the truth could have been stretched or maybe it wasn't. We have no way of knowing for sure because back then there was no way to create absolute proof and evidence that could last. It all seems very unlikely, especially considering how since then, we've gained much technology that makes evidence more substantial and no other greater powers have made themselves known since, but still, witnesses were the best you had then, and they've all long since expired. So we cannot say it didn't happen as we don't know, but we also can't rightly say it did. Perhaps there was a point when these religions didn't have to be faith, but as of right now? They abolsitely are until any higher powers choose to reveal themselves again, if they ever did before.
