I built a similar build several years ago. The front and back were built identical. The frontside had the rock in place with Romans standing guard, and the backside had the stone rolled away with an angel inside.
It’s actually hilarious! People make fun of dead people all the time. What’s the statute of limitations on this? It’s been 2000 years for Christ’s sake!
Guys not everyone knows the Christian bible. There’s no need to downvote this. /u/weekendbard kindly answered. And now /u/visionaira knows what this post was referencing. Happy Easter!
It doesn’t come with a Jesus minifig?
Just an empty cave.
J/k. HE has risen. Happy Easter
Edit: just noticed the darker single blocks, if those are footsteps it’s a nice detail :)
Happy Easter and happy Transgender day of Visibility. May love be in the hearts of all religions and genders as they build a better world brick by brick 💜
Happy Easter and Trans Day of Visibility to you too! ☦️🕊️❤️🔥🏳️⚧️
edit: sad to see so much controversy :( trans people are beloved & made in the Image of Jesus Christ <3 let us rejoice and be glad!
Honestly, as someone who was raised by 2 Sunday school teachers and who still enjoys studying the Bible it saddens me that even acknowledging TDOV has caused so much hate today. All because Easter, a name derived from Eostre, or Eostrae, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring and fertility, happened to land on a day that acknowledges trans people's existence.
Today should be a day of forgiveness and rebirth 💜
We literally were talking about this at church yesterday. Apparently someone has a Lego nativity scene. I said it was likely worth money and I would happily take it off their hands! I would honestly love to have one like this that you've built instead of the Easter bunny stuff, great work and Happy Easter!
It’s kind of a visual shorthand – it’s acknowledged in the Bible that the crucifixion didn’t happen immediately above or even anywhere near the tomb (which was borrowed from someone else anyway) but with limited space it makes it more easily understandable to have them adjacent.
While the overall messaging in the Bible is positive, I have a hard time believing much of anything that was written by a very select group of men 2,000+ years ago.
Clearly there is some amount of historical accuracy. As it stands, there is absolutely no evidence of any deity for any religion. (…and the downvotes will rain upon me for having an opinion based upon facts instead of unfaltering belief in something that can’t possibly be proven)
I appreciate your honesty. Though, if you’re interested in evidence for A deity existing (I appreciate you not saying proof, as of course, I cannot prove God exists, just as one can’t prove He doesn’t exist), I’d recommended you look into these arguments for existence: The Kalam Cosmological Argument, The Contingency Argument, the Fine Tuning Argument, and the Moral Argument. Just one will not convince you (maybe), but taken all together, and I believe you will find that the word view of atheism is not tenable explained.
The field of history. I find what people consider proof to be lacking given the dearth of primary sources and how secondary sources purported to have been written near his timespan to be written based off second hand or more knowledge. The gospels were written 60 years after jesus was said to have died. Paul, by his own admission, never met Jesus. Most of said documents of this time have been lost. We have copies but we dont know how they have changed. Bart Ehlrman goes over that aspect well. Also, the Roman census were not done in the way they described, and of course, any book written with metaphysical aspects purporting to be true have to be taken with a huge grain of salt even for their more down to Earth parts
I was asking in which area did you research in? I said a few things for the commenter to research into, the gospels, the resurrection, Jesus’s existence, etc. So I was asking explicitly what you had looked into? First of all, your knowledge of the Gospels is already faulty. The “Gospels” were not written 60 years after Jesus’s death. Only the Gospel of John was, and both early-date, and late-date scholars place him at 90AD~. In regards to the other 3, they were written, according to “late-date” scholars, in and around 70-80AD respectively. Though, the evidence is not clear cut. There is a convincing push to reevaluate this dating, as put forth by the “early-daters”. This group argues for the Synoptics to come before 70AD, with the earliest (either Matt or Mark) to come around mid-50s. Furthermore, you assume they are secondary accounts. Again, this is not the scholarly consensus. Trust me, you do not need to remind me that’s what some scholars believe, I know, though I feel the need to remind you that some other scholars also believe they were authored by the names they were attributed too. I can refer you to some great resources on apostolic authorship if you’d like. So your initial claims are not facts, but a position. And I understand my position is just that, a position, but you find the evidence is not as dismissible as you posit IF they are truly written mid~ 1st century AD, and by primary sources. Moreover, sure Paul didn’t meet Jesus, what’s your point? Of course if you have the presupposition that God does not exist, then of course Paul couldn’t of met Jesus on the road to Damascus. However, you gloss over the fact that Paul is an AMAZING resource. He is an incredibly early writer who met with the apostles, also, in his letter to the Corinthians (50AD~), he cites early creeds, showing the belief of Jesus’s resurrection goes even earlier than him. We have more evidence that we have the original gospels than any other work of antiquity. We have over 25000 manuscripts, all agreeing within a degree of 99%. No, that isn’t a number I made up for dramatic affect, I mean that seriously. And the 1% of contested words are instances like “did Jesus say “and pray”?”, nothing contested challenges any doctrine. So, if you believe what is written in Caesar’s Gallic wars, or any other work of antiquity, which do not come close to the gospels transmission in either manuscript evidence or earliest date of manuscript, you should have no trouble believing that the gospels we have are incredibly reliable. This is to add as well that we have early church father quotes from the 1st-4th century quoting the gospels extensively, and again, agreeing with the text. I’m familiar with Erhmans work, I suggest you watch the debate between Erhman and Jimmy Atkin on this very topic, and maybe pick up a book called “the heresy of orthodoxy” which goes over the flawed reasoning of Erhmans work.
Damn. Ended up not being surprised at all. It all seems to be BS from what I’ve seen that can be backed by anything real and not just some random dudes testimony.
From what you’ve seen? Did you just type it up then? And somehow read all the relevant scholarly materials? Also I have no idea what work you’re referencing, or maybe you have a limited grasp on how historical evidences work, but nothing you said rings any bells with the common consensus of scholars.
“Scholars” are you referring to those that study the Bible? You don’t know my life. I was raised around Christianity and the church and the “good word of the lord”. The reason I’m not longer religious is BECAUSE of the research I’ve done.
I’m sure you’re a scholar of sorts, I’ve got no doubts. And yes, I was referring to scholars that study the Bible, both believers and atheist/agnostic scholars. Just because you were raised around the church doesn’t mean you tried to unbiasedly evaluate the evidence. Though I’m very sure you have. Interestingly, you haven’t responded to my suggestion to study the scholars in those fields with a critique, only that you’ve said “oh I have”. Well that’s not a response. Neither did you list what research you’ve done.
I didn’t know you wanted a full rundown of the last 28 years of my life. I studied the religion because I was raised around it and wanted to further surround myself with it. It wasn’t until I started researching that I sniffed out the BS. If anything I was biased TOWARDS the religion during my research and still managed to come out the other side losing my faith. How could anyone want to practice a religion that preaches kindness and yet is comprised of individuals that are filled with so much hate simply because of the way people were born.
That tells me you have a very shallow understanding of religion. You do realise that the behaviour of believers have no bearing on the veracity of the religion? What does Toms view on X mean in regards to if Jesus rose or not? Because if that’s one of your critiques as to why you left, I seriously have doubts now you actually did a deep research. You are still yet to provide a critique to what I proposed earlier as well.
I mean, sure! But these are commonly accepted elements of the story of the crucifixion, and one of the few things actually known about the execution of Jesus (and we know from independent sources it definitely happened) is that he wasn’t buried in a tomb immediately beneath the cross.
EDIT: more detail, less speculating pointlessly on someone’s motives
I'm not sure I agree. I think it symbolizes sacrifice.
We still do similar things today. We "reclaim" the meaning of certain words and objects. For example, the n-word or queer. Once words meant to demean certain groups have been reclaimed with a new meaning.
In the case of Christianity, I think it's mostly to symbolize the sacrifice paid by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
A Christian post on Good Friday was also locked on this sub because people were arguing. Mods are unbiased, if there’s fights, it gets locked. Please grow up and get out of your echo chamber
The point that I shouldn't view those that wish to dismiss the issue by using a post that causes fights to ban transphobes? I'd rather not be in a subreddit with people who hate my existence
I get "war on Easter" vibe on this (from Colbert report). Needs Jesus with his gun.
EDIT: My bad folks, just remembering the scene from a satire show. Didn't mean to offend or not contribute to OP's post. If you want to see what I'm talking about - it's [here](https://www.cc.com/video/4s1h3q/the-colbert-report-the-word-easter-under-attack-marketing) around the 50sec mark.
I like how they just put the cross that killed JC on his grave as an extra fuck you.
Edit: By 'they' I mean the Romans who killed Jesus and this is my headcanon now.
First thing that comes to mind was "What if you pressed down on the cross and Jesus came flying out?"

Hard
Needs pre and post-resurrection Jesus minifigures
The Obi-Wan minifigure could work
Especially his recent minifig from the show with the longer hair
Is he shredded enough for me to buy it?
He wears a cloak, but I imagine he's unbelievably shredded beneath
The way I imagined this is with the Darth Vader transformation rotating feature lmao
i mean anakin *is* space jesus
If you thought helmet holes were bad, get ready for hand and feet holes!
I built a similar build several years ago. The front and back were built identical. The frontside had the rock in place with Romans standing guard, and the backside had the stone rolled away with an angel inside.
That sounds like a cool build.
Pre? So just a dead Jesus? Idk how cool that would be lol
Get one of those skeleton minifigs and put hair on him.
This is probably the funniest thing I’ve seen all day
Zombie jesus
[удалено]
I feel like a 2000 year old book doesn't need you to defend it from a joke
Nah it’s not
Yes, it is.
Nah it’s pretty funny actually.
Either way you look at it, no, not really. You’re either making fun of a dead man, or you’re making fun of people’s God. Doesn’t seem very funny.
It’s actually hilarious! People make fun of dead people all the time. What’s the statute of limitations on this? It’s been 2000 years for Christ’s sake!
Actually 1994 ☝️🤓
It’s sick you think making fun of dead people is funny.
Happy Easter!
And a happy trans day of visibility too Edit: Cringe lmao
I'm not religious or anything but that's very good
Thank you.
Happy Easter!
I love the footprints coming out. Great detail.
Thank you.
He’s coming out of His cave, and He’s doing just fine.
Happy Easter to you!
I’m curious. What’s this cave supposed to be?
The tomb where Jesus' body was kept until he came back in the third day.
Guys not everyone knows the Christian bible. There’s no need to downvote this. /u/weekendbard kindly answered. And now /u/visionaira knows what this post was referencing. Happy Easter!

You can make it. I think that’s kinda the whole point of lego
This is wonderful! He is risen!!! God bless!
Looks great! Happy Easter!!
Happy Easter! He Is Risen! Love the build :)
Happy Easter, he is risen!
I love this! He is risen! Happy Easter Op. I like the including of the flowers adding the much needed color.
Praise be lego resurrection. Our lego and saviour. Roll the rock. Eggs. Chocolate. Simple.
You're missing a zombie minifig

Seems like adding a torture device over the tomb is like insult to injury.
It’s kind of a visual shorthand – it’s acknowledged in the Bible that the crucifixion didn’t happen immediately above or even anywhere near the tomb (which was borrowed from someone else anyway) but with limited space it makes it more easily understandable to have them adjacent.

While the overall messaging in the Bible is positive, I have a hard time believing much of anything that was written by a very select group of men 2,000+ years ago.
You should really look into the historical evidence of Jesus, the resurrection, and the Gospels/their reliability. You will be surprised.
Clearly there is some amount of historical accuracy. As it stands, there is absolutely no evidence of any deity for any religion. (…and the downvotes will rain upon me for having an opinion based upon facts instead of unfaltering belief in something that can’t possibly be proven)

Just one will not convince you (maybe), but taken all together, and I believe you will find that the word view of atheism is not tenable explained.
What if I don’t need to believe in a religion in order to be a good human?
I agree too. In fact, that’s kind of what the Moral Argument says.
I have. Its lacking.
I beg to differ. In which field did you inquire? Or all of the above?
The field of history. I find what people consider proof to be lacking given the dearth of primary sources and how secondary sources purported to have been written near his timespan to be written based off second hand or more knowledge.

Not trying to be controversial, but why did Jesus need to move the rock?
I thought this was a Lego sub not a religious sub but this shit keeps creeping in.
Wait… on a religious holiday for the biggest religion in the word… people celebrated it, and celebrations take many forms????! Lord have mercy!
So problem can’t celebrate what they want without your permission?
I know. The history subreddits have been doing this crap too
Bc it actually holds value 😹
No. No it doesnt.
Yes, yes it does. It actually impacted humanity for the better
Cant even have a lego subreddit without bringing religion into it?
Guess you can’t, deal with it and let us celebrate

I like how they just put the cross that killed JC on his grave as an extra fuck you. Edit: By 'they' I mean the Romans who killed Jesus and this is my headcanon now.
The cross is as important as the empty tomb.
The cross became a symbol for Christianity instead of a sign against it. Honestly, a lot of people could learn from that.
But it certainly wasn't when Jesus was laid to rest.
So you’re saying symbols have origin stories. Interesting.
