But they were terrified and the frightened, andsupposed that they had seen a spirit, And he said wrto them, Whyare ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Beholdmy hands and my feet. that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for aspirit hath no flesh and bones, as ye see me have. And when he hadthus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. And while theyyet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have yehere any meat? And they gave him a piece of broiled fish. and of anhoneycomb. And he took it, and did eat before them."8.If you still believe that he died on the cross, then he was a falseProphet and accursed of God according to these passages:(Deuteronomy 13:5): "And that prophet, or thatdreamerofdreams, hall be put to death..."; (Deuteronomy 2l:22-23):"And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he beto be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: His body shalinot remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wisebury him that day; (forhe that is hanged is accursed ofGod;)that thy land be not defiled, which the I.ord thy God giveththee for an inheritance."To believe in his death on the cross is to discredit hidprophethood. The Jews maintained to have killed Jesus on thecross and consequently have to accept the accursedness ofJesrrs, too. this Christian belief erpposes the Rible's teaching inLlosea 6:6: '"Fol I desirerl mercy and not sacrifice; and theknor.vledge of God more than burnt-offering." It also opposesJesus' own teaching (Matthew 9:13): "But go ye and leamwhat that meaneth, I will have mercy, andnotsacrifltce..."Again Jesus said (Matthew l2:7): "But if ye had known whatthis meaneth, I will have mercy. and not sacrifice, ye wouldnot have condemned the zuiltless."
