Life of Christ Lesson 187c Resurrection Lies Exposed (Jesus DID Rise from the dead!)

Matthew 28:11-15 Mark Twain once stated that a lie can go around the whole world while truth is still lacing up her boots!  Sinful human nature somehow causes men to prefer to believe lies than truth.  While the women were going about bringing the truth of Christ's resurrection to the disciples (who did not believe them), the soldiers assigned to guard the tomb were bringing their remarkable, eye-witness report to the chief priests.  However, because the priests DID believe what they heard, they paid the soldiers a large amount of money to spread the LIE that Jesus' disciples had stolen His body! Since that original lie, many others have been concocted over the passing centuries regarding Christ's resurrection.  In this interesting lesson, we discuss many logical reasons why the chief priests' lie is false, before then showing why many other "theories" (lies) invented by unbelievers wanting to explain away the resurrection are likewise false.  Examples we consider are: "the swoon theory," "the no-burial theory," "the telepathy theory," "the séance theory," "the mistaken identity theory," and "the theft theory".  IT IS IMPORTANT FOR CHRISTIANS TO KNOW HOW TO REFUTE THESE LIES!!
