Q

More information on Jesus is death

A

Jesus came to die, and the Jewish religious leaders wanted him dead. However the battle at this point between them was the time and manner of death that Jesus wanted and the time and manner of that the Jews wanted were in conflict. Jesus claimed he came to die only by the particular means of crucifixion and at the fixed time which the father had predestined. The Jewish religious leaders, on the other hand, were seeking any opportunity available to them to rid themselves of their tormentor, which they could manage without creating and uproar against them from the multitudes of the common people. It was in the heat of this conflict that Jesus claims that he had the power to keep anyone from taking his life. He claimed he had a certain destiny to fulfil and no power from anywhere could alter it.

The theft theory: this theory states that someone came and stole the body while the Roman gods were still asleep. This is not correct as historical evidence says the guards were not asleep. Penalty for sleeping was death.
The hallucination theory: this theory states that no one actually saw a resurrected Jesus. Everyone who claims to have seen him was actually hallucinating. This is not correct as not everyone hallucinates
