It is not difficult to believe that there was a second conspiracy about his “death”. The bible says that Sanhendrin (the Jewish clergy) sent him to death, but then two members of it helped him. One Joseph of Arimathea and the other Nicodimus. They were both there to get him from the cross. They gave him their own grave. Bizarre it might sound but first they killed him then they gave him a grave.

Also I must say that Jesus was crucified the day before Passover, and the Mosaic law does not allow people to be left upon the crosses during the day of Passover. In other words they sent him to death immediately so that they could get him off the cross immediately, and alive! I believe that he was alive when he left the cross. He spent around 3 days in the grave and then he got out. From the bible of John we know that he didn’t spend more than 6 hours on the cross and we know that people need 3 to 7 days to die from crucifixion. His legs weren’t broken so he could never had died from asphyxia. And of course it is no need to say that the day of his death was chosen carefully…

Even if Jesus was truly dead, when they got him down from the cross, there is still another explanation about his “resurrection”. The name of Thomas means Twin in Jewish. But whose twin brother was he? Thomas the Twin, could have been Jesus twin brother. The “son of the father”, who was let to live, while Jesus was put to death. In other words Barabbas! (see page “THE NAMES IN THE BIBLE AND THE STORY THEY TELL US”). If Thomas was truly Jesus’ twin brother, he could have passed for the “resurrected” Jesus quite easily.
