Miracles of Jesus

Fake Evidence (Jn 20:1-18)

Christians say that the witnesses saw the burial cloth as solid evidence for the resurrection. He must have been resurrected!

Really? Maybe Jesus was dead all along and never resurrected. Maybe his beloved disciple planted the fake evidence for the resurrection. Let's check if his beloved disciple planted the fake evidence to help him become an immortal god:

(Jn 20:1-18) On the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning, while it is still dark, and saw the stone removed from the tomb. ² So she ran and went to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them, “They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don’t know where they put him”. ³ So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb. ⁴ They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and arrived at the tomb first; ⁵ he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in. ⁶ When Simon Peter arrived after him, he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there, 7 and the cloth that had covered his head, not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place. ⁸ Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed. ⁹ For they did not yet understand the scripture that he had to rise from the dead. ¹⁰ Then the disciples returned home. ¹¹ But Mary stayed outside the tomb weeping. And as she wept, she bent over into the tomb. ¹² and saw two angels in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had been. ¹³ And they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken my Lord, and I don’t know where they laid him”. ¹⁴ When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus, but did not know it was Jesus. ¹⁵ Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” She thought it was the gardener and said to him, “Sir if you carried him away, tell me where you laid him, and I will take him”. ¹⁶ Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni”, which means teacher. ¹⁷ Jesus said to her, “Stop holding on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am going to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” ¹⁸ Mary of Magdala went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”, and what he told her.  

There were Peter and our beloved disciple:

4 They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster and arrived at the tomb first.

They were not necessarily the first at the tomb. Someone else could have been there first and surely that other disciple. Moreover, the followers of Jesus never kept the Sabbath, hence they were able to go to the tomb and implant the fake evidence anytime between Friday evening and Sunday morning; on the other hand, the Jews kept the Sabbath and were unaware of their movements.

 7 and the cloth that had covered his head, not with the burial cloth but rolled up in a separate place.

“Rolled up in a separate place” Why? Did someone tamper with the evidence? If Jesus were really buried there, what should have been missing thirty-six hours later?… 'John' himself gives us the answer:

(Jn 19:38-40) After this, Joseph of Arimathea, secretly a disciple of Jesus for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate if he could remove the body of Jesus. And Pilate permitted it. So he came and took his body. ³⁹ Nicodemus, the one who had first come to him at night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about one hundred pounds. ⁴⁰ They took the body of Jesus and bound it with burial cloths with the spices, according to the Jewish burial custom.

Yes, the one hundred pounds of myrrh and aloes!

The myrrh is a plant derivative that could be of several forms; one of them is oil (does not evaporate). The aloes are plant leaves (do not evaporate). Those leaves should have been smeared with myrrh. Those leaves should have been bound around the body with the burial cloth. And then the wrapped body should have been laid over even more leaves. Don’t Christians ever question themselves what is the weight and volume of the burial cloths? What is the volume of the 100 pounds of myrrh and aloes? 100 pounds of plant leaves have a very large volume, larger than JESUS HIMSELF. It’s not a sprinkle of salt! Where did that go? Just imagine how the scene should have been with those myrrh and aloes present. 'John' testifies to what they saw. They only saw the burial cloth. 'John' testifies that the 100 pounds of myrrh and aloes were missing from the grave. If Jesus were really buried there, those should be there too along with the burial cloth in the tomb. It is 'John' who witnessed that they were NOT there. Those who implanted the cloth as evidence, for the resurrection of the Son of God, forgot to implant the 100 pounds of myrrh and aloes. From the start, Jesus singled out and favored this ‘beloved disciple’, but for a very good reason. This ‘beloved disciple’ will help him become a god! He ran faster and arrived at the tomb first to check if the fake evidence were properly implanted:

4 They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and arrived at the tomb first; ⁵ he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in. ⁶ When Simon Peter arrived after him, he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there, ⁷ and the cloth that had covered his head, not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place. ⁸ Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed.

We believe too!!! Christ has risen!!! This ‘beloved disciple’ orchestrated this fake resurrection and tricked Peter into believing that this was a real resurrection. But he made a mistake; He forgot to implant the one hundred pounds of myrrh and aloes. Unfortunately, he pulled it off and billions never noticed.

Christians quickly claim that the myrrh and aloes were indeed present but 'John' did not include the trivial details. If that were the case, then why did 'John' mention the ‘great deal of grass’ when feeding the 5000? Is the field grass more important than the evidence for the resurrection?
