Cadences of God

In his 2000 book “Jesus: The Evidence,” Ian Wilson summarizes six theories of what happened to Jesus after Good Friday. Let’s have a loko see.

Theories collected by Wilson

• Jesus really rose from grave.  (My Comments)

• The women who reported the empty tomb went to the wrong site.

• Some person unknown to the disciples removed the body.

• The disciples conspired to invent the resurrection story.

• The disciples were hallucinating when they thought they saw Jesus after his death.

• Jesus didn’t actually die on the cross but was resuscitated. (My Comments)

Some other theories:

• Jesus was a mortal man who died, period. Perhaps the story grew as lore.

• The disciples saw a ghost-like incarnation of Christ.

• Jesus not only didn’t really die but went into hiding with his wife, Mary Magdalene.

• Jesus birthed a child with Mary Magdalene, who fled to France with the child (da Vinci Code premise).

• Jesus and Mary had a son, Judah, and they were all buried in a family tomb in Jerusalem (Premise of “The Lost Tomb of Jesus” on Discovery Channel).  (My Comments)
