The other posters are doing a great job showing that if you dont actually want to contest the empty tomb evidence,
just ignore it as never having taken place. Simple.
Lazy....but simple.
The empty tomb isn't evidence. Show me said empty tomb. Prove that it housed the dead body of Jesus. Prove that Jesus was actually dead in it (it's not even clear that Jesus really died in the synoptic gospels).
LOL
No, see now youre engaging in discussion about the specific details of the matter.
Thats the antithesis of your own Op which suggests theres NOTHING to discuss.
Do you think it reasonable that a prominent religious Messiah figure would be buried in a tomb or not?
Do you think that the Roman/Jewish authorities would have ALSO wanted to oversee burial in a secure tomb as a means of publically demonstrating that a person was in fact dead and buried - THE END rather than letting the body disappear immediately after Crucifixion?
