Name 12 men who can keep a secret..

or a lie.

Loose lips sink ships. It’s well known that there’s no such thing as a secret because once the second person knows they almost immediately tell someone else. It’s human nature. Secret Societies aren’t secret for long, someone gives into the temptation of revealing what they know.

Lies are the same way, a conspiracy will never survive past initial interrogation because someone will talk.

The Watergate scandal was revealed because 12 men couldn’t maintain a lie for three weeks.

So... you expect me to believe that 12 misfits (Disicples) kept the same lie for 40 years?

Through intense interrogation, imprisonment, even death?

Proposterous.

“I know the resurrection is a fact, and Watergate proved it to me. How? Because 12 men testified they had seen Jesus raised from the dead, then they proclaimed that truth for 40 years, never once denying it. Every one was beaten, tortured, stoned and put in prison. They would not have endured that if it weren't true. Watergate embroiled 12 of the most powerful men in the world-and they couldn't keep a lie for three weeks. You're telling me 12 apostles could keep a lie for 40 years? Absolutely impossible.”
