The Empty Tomb Myth

I often watch Rabbi Tovia Singer, also Jews for Judaism on YouTube, because they do a great job of tearing down christian doctrine, & debunking the claims that jesus was prophesied in the old testament.

Whenever you debate a christian on the resurrection, most of them will come up with the argument of "well how do you explain the empty tomb"?

Of course there are many explanations you can come up with for a supposed empty tomb, ranging from the story is pure mythology so nothing to explain, or the body was moved or stolen, or that the body was left hanging on the cross & never buried in the 1st place, or the body was spirited away by aliens, among many other explanations you COULD think of. However none of these explanations are likely to convince the vast majority of christians.

However the following explanation by Rabbi Tovia Singer is one of the best I have heard for making the case that the empty tomb is a purely mythical story, & I think it could cause SOME christians who are sincerely seeking to really think about the story:
