If Jesus remained dead, how can you explain the reality of the Christian church and its phenomenal growth in the first three centuries of the Christian era? Christ's church covered the Western world by the fourth century.

All they had to do was to dig up the grave and to present the corpse. They didn't.

They are abused, tortured, exploited and even killed with impunity.
