The Resurrection is history, not hoax.  He is risen!  There are
some theories that try to disprove the resurrection.  They will
be listed and refuted.
					
1.  The tomb wasn't empty.  
	Roman history and Jewish texts acknowledge that the tomb was
        indeed	empty along with other historical texts.  The fact
        is that Jesus wasn't in the tomb.

2.  One "scholar" says that it was all a hallucination.
	There is no way that all 11 disciples hallucinated.  Jesus
        appeared to about 500 people after He was risen from the
        dead.  There is absolutely no way that 500 people in
        Jerusalem were hallucinating.

3.  Jesus didn't actually die, and He escaped from the tomb.  
	No one could survive the torment and pain of the
        crucifixion.  Jesus was lashed until He had virtually no
        skin on His back.  He was beaten. He shed a lot of blood.
        He was hung on an old rugged cross and had to push up on the
        nail in His feet to breathe.  Suffocation along with all
        else contributed to death.  A Roman even stabbed Him in the
        side to make sure that He was dead. In trying to escape from
        the tomb, how could one in His shape move Himself or the
        great stone that sealed the tomb?  The disciples wouldn't
        have bowed down at the feet of a Jesus in that shape after a
        crucifixion and wouldn't have believed the resurrection, and
        then Christianity would've died long ago.  But He is risen!
                              					
4.  The disciples stole the body.  
	How could they get past the Roman guards?  The disciples
        were mostly fishermen.  They were not trained for combat.
        The Roman guards on the other hand were well trained.  If
        they went to sleep on a night watch, they would be executed.
        Historical fact:  the guards from the tomb were not executed
        because they didn't make a mistake.  How could the disciples
        move such a heavy stone?

5.  One "scholar" says that the "young man" that the women saw was
        just a young man.  This "young man" said this of Jesus:  "He
        is not here.  Go see where they laid His body."  This
        "scholar" says that the "young man" was telling the women
        that they had come to the wrong tomb. The fact is that the
        "young man" is an angel.  The "scholar" conveniently left
        out three words that the angel said to them:  "He is risen!"
        I think that phrase tells the women what's up!  If it
        would've been the wrong tomb, the women could've gone to the
        authorities, but this never happened.

NOTE:  	For all of these false theories, note that no one ever found a
body. The Romans and Jews could have stopped all of this by presenting
the body, and Christianity would've died early, but that didn't happen
because the body wasn't there.  He is risen!  Mohammed's body is in his
tomb.  Buddha's body is in his tomb.  The fate of Ghandi's body was
public. BUT the Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead!  This is historic
fact!  He is risen!
