"Give me one motive of the apostles to come back into a city where their "leader" was just crucified by the Romans with the blessing of the Jewish leaders."

I would assume most lived there....where else would they go, the country was occupied by the Romans who were very powerful militarily. Also none of them may have been considered the threat Jesus was, history bears that out. Did they immediately go back and start preaching or did they go on the lam and preach in secret to groups...you know this is done today..... And I agree with you, I doubt money played any part in this....

"That is why they put guards on the tomb. "

Which raises another question. If guards were there, why didn't they see the tombstone being moved, why didn't they stop it? The stone was moved, was it not? If it was moved by an invisible force it would have been seen moving or suddenly have seen that the tomb was open. Also the body was not invisible and it disappeared. Why didn't they see the body being removed? If he was resurrected as flesh and blood, he should have been seen by the guards. If he was resurrected as a human, why didn't he appear to the Romans, they would have known then that they couldn't kill him and would therefore be terrified. Thousands, maybe millions, of conversions would have occurred almost instantly.
