"I humbly add I have spent more than 42 years as a defense trial lawyer appearing in many parts of the world and am still in active practice. I have been fortunate to secure a number of successes in jury trials [245] and I say unequivocally the evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is so overwhelming that it compels acceptance by proof which leaves absolutely no room for doubt." - Sir Lionel Luckhoo, the most successful trial attorney in history, according to the Guinness Book of World Records
Have you ever read, "The Fraternity: Lawyers and Judges in Collusion" ? You should. Its very very enlightening...
There are two resurrections. The first resurrection is from the tomb of false religion or grave of worldly pursuits, the death of the spirit. The second resurrection is from the death of the body.
Those who take part in the first resurrection will never know what it is to die the second death.
Anyway, as far as the second resurrection of Jesus is concerned, the one and only possible way that these eyewitness accounts could be true is if they were eyewitness accounts of what was seen and heard in dreams. It is the Jewish belief that God communicates to earthlings through dreams and visions. Jesus appearing to his disciples in dreams after he died convinced them that he survived death and was alive and well in eternal the realm of God.
Even the transfiguration, a dream. It clearly says "they fell into a deep sleep."
As a literal event, angels coming down from the sky rolling the stone, popping in and out of locked rooms, eating fish, getting his wounds poked, floating up into the sky, etc., impossible.
