WAS THE RESURRECTION A HOAX? - Part 2 - Garner Ted Armstrong - June 1977

Garner Ted Armstrong

The resurrection of Jesus Christ of Nazareth is either the supreme fact of history or a flagrant, deliberate fabrication foisted off on the followers of Christianity. Did the central figure of the Christian faith really rise from the dead? Suppose, in the year 1977, some writer wrote that a well-known prophet had traveled throughout the United States working many incredible miracles and healing scores of sick persons. Suppose further that less than forty years had passed since his public execution at the hands of an enraged mob in Times Square on December 31, 1938. If such an occurrence had happened back in 1938, millions would still be alive today who would have either heard or read of the event in the mass media. Hundreds of actual eyewitnesses would still be alive to either corroborate the event or testify to its falsity. If the event had never in fact happened, no writer could get away with such an outrageously fallacious story. He would be the laughing stock of his profession. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
