Twins Theory

As I got to work today in my Minnesota Twins Jersey (w/#15 and Guzman printed on the back - kind of went old school as Guzman now plays w/ the Washington Nationals) I thought I would post something related to Twins baseball. To my surprise I came across in staff meeting this morning The Twins Theory. The Twins Theory actually has nothing to do with baseball (Although the Minnesota Twins could actually use a new theory on defense as they are second to last in the AL in fielding, a once defined trademark strength of the Twins).

The Twins Theory is an unscriptural theory of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This theory has been suggested by scholars (mostly Muslim) and says that Christ had a twin, and that three days after He had been crucified and buried, His twin showed himself, declaring that he was Christ risen from the dead.

Dr. Gerry Breshears provides this response to the Twins Theory in Vintage Jesus (Crossway, 2008), "There is not a shred of evidence to prove that someone who looked like Jesus existed at that time. Additionally, Jesus' mother was present at his crucifixion, and the likelihood of fooling his mother is minimal. Also, the physical wounds he suffered during the crucifixion were visible on Jesus' resurrection body and carefully inspected by the disciple Thomas, who was very doubtful that Jesus had risen until he touched scars from the crucifixion evident on Jesus' body."

I agree with Dr. Breshears
