Makes Jesus’
alleged resurrection look like a boy’s failed trick!

All the praises and thanks
be to Allaah, Sustainer of the Universe, and blessing
and salutation to be the most distinguish of the Messengers and
foremost among the Prophets, our Prophet Muhammad,
peace and blessings of Allaah be on him and on his wives, children and
Companions.
Christianity’s foundation stands or falls on the alleged claim of
Jesus’ resurrection i.e. allegedly dying and then allegedly rising from
dead after three days, as no Christian in the world fails to claims
this alleged miracle of Jesus with chest-beating. In this very brief treatise
we will take Christians claims as their face value and the Biblical accounts also
as their face value for the sake of argument. And we will prove without a shadow of a doubt
that Jesus’ alleged miracle (resurrection) is in fact like a failed trick
attempted by little boy to imitate some one.
The
irony of our evidence is that it also is from the Bible (to be exact from the Synoptic Gospels) and proves that Moses’ out performed Jesus’ making Jesus
look like a Boy Scout.
Let us examine the accounts and/or evidence from the Bible that shows Moses resurrected even before Jesus’ alleged resurrection and also met with Jesus:

Gospel according to Matthew |
Gospel according to Mark |
Gospel according to Luke |
Matthew
17:1-4 (New International Version)
1After six days Jesus took with him
Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain
by themselves. 2There he was transfigured before
them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the
light. 3Just then there appeared before them Moses and
Elijah, talking with Jesus. 4Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for
us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters–one for you, one for
Moses and one for
Elijah.” |
Mark
9:2-5 (New International Version)
2After six days Jesus took Peter,
James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all
alone. There he was transfigured before them. 3His
clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach
them. 4And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses,
who were talking with Jesus. 5Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good
for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters–one for you, one for Moses and one for
Elijah.” |
Luke
9:28-31 (New International Version)
28About eight days after Jesus
said this, he took Peter, John and James with him
and went up onto a mountain to pray. 29As he was
praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright
as a flash of lightning. 30Two men, Moses and Elijah, 31appeared
in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. They spoke
about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at

Readers should note that Matthew and Mark has mentioned “six days” whereas Luke says “eight days” we will ignore this obvious contradiction since it is not the scope of this treatise.
According to Judeo-Christian accounts and/or timeline
Moses was born around 1526 B.C. whereas Jesus was born around 6/5 B.C.
according to same sources, about 1520 years after
Moses’ death. The same sources tell us that Jesus was reportedly
crucified around 30 A.D. Therefore we have to add the thirty (30) years
to Moses’ timeline, which will bring the numbers of years to 1550 years before
Jesus’ alleged resurrection. This only means that according to the Christian Bible and
Christian belief Moses died, was buried and rose from dead after 1550 years and
also visited Jesus, met Jesus in presence of his disciples (Peter, James and John).
So if the alleged death of Jesus and then his alleged
resurrection is the greatest miracle and proof of Jesus being Son of God and/or
God and/or both; for Christians, than Moses out performed Jesus by rising from
dead after 1550 years. That is 1549 years 362 days longer than Jesus, thus, is the
far grater miracle performed by Moses than chest-beating Christians claims was
allegedly performed by Jesus. Are Christians ‘ worshipping
the wrong God? Are Christians’ wrong for their claims about Jesus being the Son
of God and/or God? You be the judge, but we cannot turn a blind eye to the
facts cited above from the Christians’ own Bible, which proves conclusively
that Christians’ cock and bull story about the alleged resurrection of Jesus’
is not that big deal at all that may qualify Jesus to be Son of God and/or God
and/or both. Not that we believe in such cock-a-hoop, but to all fairness if
one want to set the criteria of dying and rising from dead qualifies one to be
Son of God and/or God and/or both, than Moses certainly takes the cake by
out-performing Jesus for remaining dead over fifteen centuries, then rising
from dead and meeting Jesus along with Elijah, in presence of three
Jesus’ disciples. This is a checkmate to Christians,
their Bible and Christianity!
