The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (Part Deux)

[abaris]

3. Hey Nobody Said It Wasn't True.
If Jesus hadn't really risen from the dead, surely there would have been people around at that time who would have said so. After all, it's well known that the ancient world was full of Fact Checking Commandos that would have jumped upon any rabbi scribbling something incorrect, pinned him to the ground and cried "FALSE!" The fact that we have no records of this ever happening proves that Jesus must have risen from the dead 2-3 days after the crucifixion, depending on which Gospel you read, and then risen into the sky to be with his father on that same day (Luke 24:51), eight days later (John 20:26) or 40 days later (Acts 1:3).

OK, and by the same token I put it to you, that all these gods mentioned here, did rise from the grave.

Not even the gospels find a general consensus about what has happened. This is obviously a christian website, but they have to perform mind acrobatics to make the pieces of the puzzle fit.

Now for your question about some rabbi having second thoughts and fact checking commandos. Jesus wasn't important for the jews. Even if we assume a historical Jesus, he was nothing but a trouble maker. And good riddance when he was crucified. Don't you think, there would be any roman records, if there had been some early movement claiming a god has risen from the grave. Even more so, if said god was executed a couple of days before by Roman authority?
