Jesus is there! He is watching this woman. He knows who she is, and he knows why she is there. He approaches her from behind, and finds her crying. So he asks her:
"Woman, why wee pest thou? Whom seekest thou? —
(HOLY BIBLE) John 20:15
Before she replies, allow me to interject: "Why does he ask what appears to be silly questions? Doesn't he know the obvious reasons? Of course he does! Then why the silly questions?"
The answer is that in reality they are not silly questions, though they appear to be so. He knows that this woman is looking for him, and she is disappointed on not finding him; hence the weeping. But he also knows that because of his heavy disguise she would not be able to recognise him. So metaphorically speaking he is pulling her leg. In describing this incident John, referring to Mary Magdalene, says:
"She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him".
(Still John 20:15)
Now why should she suppose that he is a gardener? Do resurrected persons look like "gardeners"? Nol! Then why does she suppose him to be a gardener? Because he is disguised as a GARDENER! Why is he disguised as a gardener? Because he is afraid of the Jews! Why is he afraid of the Jews? Because he did not die and did not conquer death! If he had died, and if he had conquered death, then he would not be afraid anymore. Why not? Because a resurrected body cannot die twice! Who says so? The Bible says so. Where? In the Book of Hebrews 9:27. It says:
". . . It is ordained unto all men ONCE to die, and after that the judgement."

1) If you were to look at a muslim site, which u stated, surely you will not expect it to praise the Bible and the Word of God, isn't it?
2) It seems like you are advertising the website to influence and advocate more chaos and unbelief among other Christians, i dont know, i shall not judge, let God judge u on this.
3) 600 years after Jesus was cruxified, a man said Jesus didnt die nor was he cruxified, and it appeared so, only to make people think that it is so. Do u believe that man, if yes then no point arguing on that website and its stuff, if you do not believe, than dun argue on the web's stuff neither.
Brethren, i beseech u not to continue on this arguement, remember Proverbs saying on arguement? Do not engage in senseless arguements. Let us all leave it at here.

I don't remember, but does it say that she ever looked at him? If you aren't looking at someone how do you know who they are? Even if she may have recognized the voice, wouldn't she assume that it was just a coincidnece since she thinks jesus is dead?

And what exactly is your question, other than a blatant advertisement for your Anti-Christian site?
