Is he still in there then?..Smile


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.
