CHRIST'S RESURRECTION

Roman law said that any soldier caught asleep while on guard duty was to be
executed and it was always carried out forthwith.

• Why were all 16 Roman soldiers guarding the tomb of Jesus asleep at the same time, and why were they never punished?
   

• Why, if His tomb was sealed with a Roman seal, and the seal had been broken, was not the man hunted down and executed?
   

• At that time Jerusalem was a tiny town.  Why were not 300 Roman soldiers dispatched to find the stolen body?  This would disprove the resurrection of Jesus.
   

• Why did the disciples of Jesus who hid and denied Him the day before his
  crucifixion, proclaim Him boldly everywhere the third day after, taking all to their deaths but John?

Then there is the stolen body theory---His disciples moved the 20 ton stone over the door without waking up the guards.

There is the wrong tomb theory that the women before day break, and confused, went to the wrong grave, also His disciples did the same afterward.  Roman officials present on site could have directed them, and who ever forgets where a loved one is laid to rest?

There is the swoon theory that Jesus after being severely beaten, hung on His cross, had His heart pierced with a Roman spear, then fainted, came to three days later and walked out of His tomb.
