The Importance of I Witnesses in History

Skeptics will say the disciples are making up this legend of his resurrection because they want to have authority and power.

Within a few years these same disciples who supposedly made up this legend started to die martyrs deaths. This is a very complex, this conspiracy is really well thought out.
