The Jesus Christ Resurrection Myth–A House of Cards Built on Contradictions

It’s Easter Sunday, and I am obliged to bring you the real gospel—that if you’re still clinging to the fairytale of a resurrected messiah in 2025, you’re either wilfully ignorant or intellectually dishonest.

As of the year 2022, in Israel, 73.6% of the population/people are Jewish, 18.1% Muslim, 1.9% Christian, and 1.6% Druze.

This means, over 73% of the people of Israel believe that Jesus as the messiah is a fraud. They believe Jesus is not divine or that he is not a messiah or holy or any of the sacred attributes you paint in him with.

How can such a huge number of people who saw him, have the places you term holy and are actually blessed by God, be all wrong?

Of course, the divinity of Jesus is not true and every well-reasoned person wouldn’t run with that. All the scholars, Rabbis, and ordinary people of Israel are wrong, yet Akosua Bruwaa from Ghana and Adeola from Nigeria are right about Jesus Christ, huh?

The resurrection story isn’t just implausible—it’s a patchwork of conflicting accounts that would be laughed out of any serious historical discussion. Yet billions swallow it whole without bothering to examine the glaring inconsistencies.

Take the most basic question: How many days did Jesus actually stick around after rising from the dead?

• Acts 1:3 claims it was 40 days of post-resurrection teachings.

• Yet Luke 24:51 insists he ascended to heaven the same day.

Pick one.

Then there’s the zombie apocalypse, only Matthew bothered to mention—where graves supposedly burst open and dead saints wandered Jerusalem. You’re telling me an event this spectacular only made it into one gospel? The others were too busy to jot down this minor detail?

The contradictions pile up faster than collection plates on Sunday:

The Crucifixion Timeline:

• John says Jesus was crucified before Passover.

• The other three gospels say after.

Jesus’ Last Words:

• Three different versions across three gospels. Even in his final moments, the writers couldn’t agree on what he said.

The Burial Farce:

• Most claim Joseph of Arimathea handled it.

• Acts blames random Jewish strangers.

The Easter Morning Circus:

• How many women at the tomb? One (John), two (Matthew), three (Mark), or a whole squad (Luke)?

• Was the stone already rolled away? Matthew says no, others say yes.

•Did they tell anyone? Matthew/Luke: Yes. Mark: They were too scared and told nobody—which raises the question: how did the story spread?

The Identity Crisis:

• Mary Magdalene supposedly knew Jesus for years—yet in some accounts, she didn’t recognise him after the resurrection. Was he wearing a disguise?

The Physicality Debate:

• Could people touch resurrected Jesus? John says no, others say yes.

The Great Meeting Place Mix-Up:

• Galilee (Matthew/Mark) or Jerusalem (Luke/Acts)?

And let’s not forget Paul’s magical 500 witnesses (1 Cor. 15:6) that somehow escaped every gospel writer’s attention. Half a thousand people saw a dead man walking, and not one thought to document it properly?

These “gospels” weren’t even written by disciples:

• The earliest (Mark) came 35-40 years post-crucifixion—long enough for legends to calcify into “facts.”

• The same anonymous scribe likely wrote Luke and Acts.

• Matthew and Luke largely copied Mark, adding their own creative flourishes.

This isn’t history—it’s theological fan fiction.

Yet Christians point to the resurrection as their ultimate “proof.” Fine—then explain why the accounts can’t even agree on fundamental details like where, when, who, or what actually happened? You’d think the most important miracle in human history would have consistent documentation.

Critical Thinking 101:

1. Curiosity – Ask why four accounts of the same event contradict each other.

2. Scepticism – Demand evidence beyond anonymous, decades-later texts.

3. Humility – Admit when your beliefs crumble under scrutiny.

The resurrection story fails all three tests.

So to the faithful still reading: You can DELETE yourself now—or better yet, explain these contradictions without resorting to “divine mystery” cop-outs. The ball’s in your court.
