We shall be inseparable from them and from the Lord if only we follow Him and believe in His Resurrection. All attempts to doubt Christ's Resurrection vanish before the Gospel testimony. Who can doubt the strength of their subsequent conviction of Christ's Resurrection. The basis of such unshakable conviction must be a factual event. Quite baseless as well are those few attempts to explain the faith in Christ's Resurrection by the influence of ancient myths about gods who die and rise again.
Comparative mythology is a totally different order of idea.
Christ died and rose again not as God but as a man or a God-man. This duality concept is alien to ancient religion. This kind of slander, cited in the Gospel itself, about the theft of Christ's body by the Disciples was never tenable, never supported later by Jews or pagans. This slander is dissipated by the truth of the Gospel and by the subsequent history of Christianity. We believers who have not seen and yet have believed in Christ's Resurrection are the same as eyewitnesses, by force of our joyous experience of this great miracle.
