Now you are just being absurd.  If he existed at all, he's wherever they buried him.  IF they got to bury him.  If he actually was crucified, Roman history and practice was to never let the body be taken down.  A large part of the "message" of crucifixion was to make the public walk past the rotting corpses of those who defied Roman rule.  So IF a Galilean preacher was crucified, he was almost certainly never buried.  A lot of people say that Joseph of Arimathea had enough clout to get him down . . . but he would only have had clout with the Sanhedrin. People are desperate to come up with a way that the "empty tomb" story might have been one of the rare exceptions, but - - it's just more apologetics.  Pilate supposedly gave the order, and an idiot rabble-rouser who caused unrest was deemed a threat to Roman rule -- he would certainly have been left up there to be crow food.


1) It seems that Jesus was not let to rot in the cross for a reason although this may be a speculation.
While the other two men that were on the cross like Jesus were not killed by a Roman spear Jesus was
so there was no reason for Jesus to be on the cross anymore once he was dead.

2) Jesus was not a problem for the Romans.
He was a big big problem for the corrupted priests which convinced the Romans that he was a threat for them.
Pilate didn't really believe that but in order to keep peace with the priests and the elite in power agree to put him on the cross.

One interpretation of that is that he was a ghost and she'd have been freaked when her arms went through him.
Later of course, he beamed back down to earth in a brandnew fleshy body, that's when he said to Thomas "See, I'm as solid as you".
We can therefore speculate that our bodies are "spacesuits" that our souls are in, to enable us to get around on this planet.
Oops sorry was I rambling?..Smile

He didn't come out of the tomb.  Never happened. The bible is a book of fairy tales.  Alice drinking potions to make her shrink or grow is more believable.


Gee, finally I found someone who got the solid evidence that Jesus was never resurrected.

Very interesting.
Well, let us see this evidence fuz.  Shy
