The thinking man. Sometimes I think our curse is that we think and wonder about life and such. But then I also think I am glad that I do not have to be like a dog who has to obey blindly whatever his master demands of him. The question of eternal is very nagging too. In Hinduism you have Karma and the whole concept of rebirth. What then is eternal in the Christian context? And Rebirth in Hinduism is not a good thing I think!

Amazing video, mate. Thanks!

Suppose you argue like Lake, that the women went to the wrong tomb, or Guignebert, that the disciples didn't know which tomb Jesus was placed in. The reactions of the authorities themselves shoot down these claims amidst the growing commotion created by the disciples' preaching from the Day of Pentecost onwards in Judea and elsewhere. Some elementary investigation by them would have quickly disposed of the matter, such as by asking Joseph of Arimathea (a member of the Sanhedrin himself) where his tomb was. Furthermore, would the Romans have guarded the wrong tomb? Christianity could have been strangled in the cradle by simply producing the body of Jesus, perhaps by presenting it on an ox cart rolled down the main streets of Jerusalem. Who could believe that Jesus had risen right after seeing His dead body? The preaching about Christianity's claims did not begin in some place far from where Jesus Himself had lived, such as Athens, where checking up on His followers' claims would have been difficult.
