After 2000 years, what do the biblical skeptics have to show beyond their personal incredulity? Not much. No one 2000 years ago ever recorded that Jesus didn't actually exist or that he never rose from the grave (which would be easy to prove with his body in a guarded tomb).

There were rumors that are mentioned in the Gospels that the apostles stole the body in order to perpetuate the resurrection story and these stories have echoed through the centuries but there has been no proof (nor will there be) that the believers did anything of the sort.
Wretched Excess:
I found this story fascinating.
DixieBelle:
^me too. The difference in response between Christians and Muslims having their holy word tested is interesting to say the least.
mamacags:
Incredible article! I am very surprised that there aren't a lot of fake names in the research.

About a 2 hour drive from where I am, is the grave of Jesus Christ. A sect of Christians believe that Jesus did escape persecution, and that one of his brothers took his place on the cross. Jesus then spent the next several years journying across Asia, eventually arriving BACK in Japan (they say he came here during his younger years and grew to love the place), where he married and had a family and eventually died at something like 102 years old.
