Rising of the Saints when Jesus Died?

Remember in the New Testament when Jesus had died on the cross, and the Bible speaks of many saints rising that had been dead and walking the streets?

Matthew 27: 52 – 53:

“And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.”

It never said what happened after that or if they returned back to their graves or went on to heaven. I was wondering what some of you think about it.

What Was the Difference Between the Magic Performed by Moses and the Pharaoh’s Sorcerors?

Perhaps someone could tell me what category we would place the magic/ sorcery (practiced by Moses and supported by the ‘biblical god’) when he tried to convince the Pharaoh to release the Israelites from slavery? As stated before, Moses was in competition with the Pharaoh’s sorcerers.

Please, for all those on this blog, who have condemned sorcery – can you answer this question.

Why Did Judas Act so Strangely?

I mean,first he betrayed Jesus for money,and was very determined to carry this on.

Next, we see a total swift of behavior, he gives up the money (the very reason for betrayal!) and desperately kills himself.

What really happened to determine this outcome?

Why Such Differences in the Way God is Presented in the Old Testament and the New?

In another question, What is Salvation all About and is it Necessary?, the discussion turned toward the question about the differences in the way God is presented in the Old and New testaments.

In the Old testament God is presented as being jealous and vengeful. God ordered the slaughter of thousands and thousands of people.

In the New Testament God is described as long suffering and gentle and patient. God loves all of us. In fact he loves us so much that he “sent his only begotten son…”

So why do you think there is such a dramatic difference between the way God is described in the two parts of the Bible?
