THE ANSWER IS: FALSE!

Because they refused testimony of Mary

and the other first witnesses

*We should note that female witnesses were NOT accepted in legal questions or in courts at that time and in that culture and throughout the Roman Empire; this rejection of female witness was standard procedure (and still is in many parts of the East), which goes to show that God's truth does not need human witness of any kind to be true or be accounted true, since God deliberately (for His own reason) stacked the deck here against the slick, easy-does-it acceptance of Christ's resurrection! And, remember, no Resurrection of Christ, no Christianity! It is the only thing that got the ball rollin'! There were plenty of popular, flourishing religions around, and the world didn't need another. But this was no religion! It was the start of a Relationship with Jesus Christ so personal He answers back when we pray! In religions, you pray, present your offering, and hope for the best--but Allah, or Buddha, or whatever, never answers back. He is too aloof and high above all humanity. How unlike the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob--the God of Christ--who wants personal contact, continually, now and in eternity!
