many 1hristian sources and %uslim sources too, thus the conclusion
reached after this research. The basis of modern day 1hristianity reoles
around the concept that )esus died on the cross to sae man. To such a
point that belief that )esus died on the cross is the means of salation for
those who beliee in it, and doom for those who do not. 4oweer, there

From a %uslims point of iew would it be right to say that Je!u! was
crucified: %uslim readers might think the author is insane if he says yes.
'ut the author is sure that after reading this booklet the readers, %uslim
and nonB%uslim, will agree that Je!u! !on of the father was crucified,
howeer Je!u! !on of Marywas not. <hough you may not agree with the
author at first, een then, please read on.

There are many uestions we can ask here in the following bible erses
%t2=-B-L5
)esus is asking G"D to let this cup !death# pass from him, he is not willing
to die, and he did not come to die. 4ad )esus come to die he would not
hae been crying and asking G"D to sae him from death, he was in grief.
In %arks rendition he says in 1hapter 5=-;B-.2
*o it is clear )esus was begging to G"D to sae him from this ordeal, had
he come to die he would hae been welcoming it with open arms, since he
is not aware of it he says to G"D Jall things are possible onto theeK and
Jneertheless not what I will, but what thou wiltK.- 1lear proof here that
)esus is not G"D, his life is not in his hands but in the hands of the one
who created him, G"D the one and only creator. &lso a few points to bear
in mind here, all things are possible unto G"D. If he can make )esus beborn of a mother and no father he alone can sae him from this death, also
)esus does not follow his will but the will of G"D, as we see in both
renditions that )esus is stressing on the will of G"D being different and
more powerful than his. *o this discounts the concept that )esus was G"D.
Thirdly G"D does not fall on his face and beg any one to sae his life. *o,
one who falls on his face and worships G"D cannot be G"D. *o we can
see that )esus was not sent to die, 4e prayed to be saed from this hardship.¬her point here is that had )esus been God he would not need his
disciples to look out for him while he was praying, G"D is the omnipotent,
the mighty, the powerful, the &ll seeing and all knowing and does not need
a few sleepy, powerless men to look out for him. God had destroyed his

enemies in the past and could destroy anybody, no need for men armed
with swords. %atthew teals us that )esus was son of man and not God as in
%t 2=-B;.54e says here too clearly *"/ "F %&/ not son of G"D nor
G"D, can God be betrayed:
This point that he prayed and his prayers were answered is also reflected in
Hebrew! +*/
where it say clearly that )esus was saed from death becauseof his reerent submission to God .*o make no mistake about it he prayed
to G"D in his life and in the Garden of Gethsemane and he wa! heard
becau!e of hi! re"erent !ubmi!!ion# 7e must not forget here we are
talking of a prophet of G"D and a ery great one indeed one who &llah
had bestowed great faours so how can his cries be left unheard. &gain in
this erse we can see the refutation of )esus diinity in the 'ible itself, take
a look for yourself> he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and
tears to the one who could !a"e him from death# 4ad he been G"D hewould not need someone else to sae him from death, G"D is omnipotent
and allBpowerful, was not born and does not die and especially does not
need anyone else to sae him from death.
"ne ery important uestion needs to be asked here, if )esus the teacher,
the healer, the prophet was as peaceful as 1hristians make out, why was a
1ohort !about 99 soldiers# sent to arrest such a peaceful man:
The bible in %atthew 2A=2A
says a cohort came to arrest him inGethsemane and according to 'arnes /ew Testament /otes it says it was
from 99 N 99 hundred=-&lso &lfred 3dersheim in his book Jthe 6ife and
times of )esus the messiahK says=
5%t 2=- &nd he came and found them asleep again= for their eyes were heay.
&nd he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
; Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, *leep on now, and take your rest= behold,the hour is at hand, and the on of manis betrayed into the hands of sinners.2Hebrew! +*During the days of )esusE life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud
cries and tears to the one who could sae him from death, and he wa! heard becau!e of hi!
re"erent !ubmi!!ion#5

)esus also knew how they were and 6ike %oses in the erse aboe rebuked
them for their attitude towards other prophets in %t 2-=-5.

had to pay )udas -9 pieces of siler to take them to him and still when they
got there they spoke to )esus face to face and did not know it was him,
)udas had to go and kiss him to reassure them it was him.5
They did not know who they were looking for> twice, while staring them in
the face he told them who he was, yet had he not told them, they would nothae known. *o how could anyone else be sure it was him that was on that
cross when he disciples left him and fled: The Curan certifies that it was
not )esus.
%ake no mistake about it the Curan is not con$ecture, out of all those
soldiers not one knew him, any one could hae been in his place none
would hae been the wiser, if )udas was not taken there to kiss him and
show them who he is>%at22
)esus asserted to them that he was preaching daily at the temple yet they
did not take him then. This too shows that they did not know him since, had
he been preaching daily at the temple the soldiers would hae known him.-
"f course they did not take him from the temple because many had not
known who he was and not eery one there wanted him dead. The eil high
(riests wanted him dead but the *oldiers were only obeying orders, theywere not een aware whom they were supposed to capture. %at 2
&s we hae seen earlier in 4ebrews ;=A )esus prayers were answered due to
his increased reerence to God, at least one angel was sent to the Garden of

)esus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them,7hom seek ye:; They answered him, )esus of /aMareth. )esus saith unto them, I am he. &nd )udas also, which
betrayed him, stood with them. &s soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
A Then asked he them again, 7hom seek ye: &nd they said, )esus of /aMareth. )esus answered, I hae told you that I am he2Mat 26: ;9 &nd )esus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come: Then came they, and laidhands on )esus, and took him.3 And Je!u! an!wered and !aid unto them, Are ye come out, a! a%ain!t a thief, with !word!
and with !ta"e! to take me?
I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not= but the scriptures must be fulfilled.4Mat 26:66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

in 6uke 22=-5
3en (ilate did not know who he was and he asked him if it is true what
they are saying about him.2*o how can any one say there is guarantee that

)esus son of %ary had a group of followers called the Mealots, according to
the bible, among whom it was said, was )ames, 'arnabas, *imon and many
others. There was reolt that had taken place, like many other reolts
between the )ews and the +omans that took place in the past. )esus son of
%ary was locked up during the course of the night while being tarried from
place to place for his trial. The /ight )esus son of %ary was captured by acohort of !around 99# soldiers and put in prison> the same night in the
same custody was another person. 'y coincidence who else was
imprisoned on the same by the same goernor (ilate:
/one else but )esus son of the father. Does it not seem to be a coincidence
that 2 men bearing the same name )esus are captured and thrown in the
same prison at the same time: 'oth were no strangers to the people. 'oth
were supposed reolutionaries in their own rights. It sure is not a
coincidence, it is the work of almighty G"D he planned it that way and thatwas the way it was going to happen," my Father, if it be possible, let this
cup pass from me= neertheless notas I will, but a! thou wilt#5'y G"Ds
will alone and no one can change that. %any 7riters, some %uslim and
non %uslim hae deduced that )esus !son of %ary# was crucified but was
not killed, I will go een further and show you that he did not een get
crucified let alone killed. 4e did not een get put on the cross.
)esus son of the father and )esus *on of the father end up in the sameprison on the same night. 7hat is the author talking about: 8ou might ask.

Abbameaning the father. +emember )esus is in 3nglish, in 4ebrew it was

4e too was called )esus 'arabbas !although authors of the 'ible and
4istorians and commentators later dropped the name )esus from his namebecause as they said they did not want a sinner to hae shared the same
name as their beloed son of G"D#. The church father "rigen was
appalled by the use of )esus 'arabbas in the manuscripts he was familiar
with because he held the coniction that no sinner should bare the name
and title of )esus the 1hrist . )esus 'arabbas was a 1riminal, a murderer
and a reolutionary,a man imprisoned for sedition and insurrection. *ome
modern day bibles still hold the name )esus 'arabbas=

)esus son of %ary!known to 1hristians as son of the father# called the
people to worship the one true G"D your G"D and my G"D.

8ou hae )esus son of the father insurgent, murderer, and criminal. 'oth inthe same prison 1harged for crimes and to be sentenced.
)esus 'arabas, the criminal, being there sentenced to death too, was not a
1oincidence. It was the plan of almighty G"D. &t this point when )esus
!*on of %ary# was sent to (ilate, the latter saw no crime in him. &s far as
(ilate was concerned he was Innocent. 4e was not prepared to sentence an
innocent man and he knew that. /o one was witness as to what happened,
what was said and done behind those doors, there is no testimony in neitherthe 'ible nor the 4istorians.
'arabbas was arrested because he was the leader of this group who
rebelled. The bible passes him off as a murderer and insurrection but does

totally ignored: 4ow could the 1hristians claim he was the son of God yet his supposed
father blatantly ignores his sons prayers and cries for help. The aboe erse in )ohn

prayers were answered .*o G"D was planning, as he is the greatest of all planners.

cannot imagine sometimes. *omething ery crucial comes into place. For a
man like (ilate who een had to send )esus to 4erod in order not to make

man who would rather get hated more by the )ews that to bow down to
them. 4e actually found the Oing !)esus# of the )ews not guilty. 7hy:1ould it be that G"D made this mans heart become weak and decide not
to kill this innocent man although (ilate himself could not careless about
the )ews and what they think: 1ould there hae been outside interention:

was not recogniMable. &ctually later on we will see how een after hisalleged resurrection he was not recogniMed by those who knew him. *o

& notable prisoner he claims not a murderer or insurgent, someone who is
comparable with )esus son of %ary:
'efore we go further we hae to note too (ilates wife had mentioned that
she had a dream about )esus the night before and wanted her husband not to
hae anything to do with him. I.e. causing any harm to him=
! 4oweer there is no eidence of this feast recorded in any other document outside of
%arks Gospel. /o mention een that a prisoner is released on any such occasion, not een
in passing. 3en the "T does not mention anything like this for (assoer. This was made
up by %ark in order to distinguish between the two sons of the father. *uddenly out of the
blue there was going to be a feast and (ilate was going to be ery generous to the (eople
he did not like, we are made to beliee. 4e had decided he was going to release one
prisoner to make those who hated him and who he hated, happy. The funny thing here is

of the feast he would no hae asked them to choose who they want to

5 It uestions the mind, why (ilate would leae two real robbers who in the end, according
to the 'ible, were crucified with )esus, to choose to liberate )esus 'arabbas a hardened
criminal, and insurgent, a murderer of +oman soldiers. It would hae been a better deal for
him to present one of the robbers or een both against )esus who according to him was an
innocent man and he wanted to wash his hands from the affair.*o why does he then leae
two robbers and chooses to free a hardened 1riminal. )esus howeer had done nothing
wrong according to the laws of +ome, he was handed oer by the )ews to be punished 4e
was accused by them that he claimed to be God or een the son of God, something a )ew
will neer accept. (ilate was a pagan himself and belieed in so many gods and could
careless een if )esus had claimed to hae been another God or the son of God. That was
not a criminal offence according to +oman law.

real name, howeer bible translators dropped the name of )esus in reference to 'arabbas as
they did not want to associate the name of their lord with an eil man.27hy would he hae to specify as aboe J)esus which is called the 1hristK if 'arabbas
was only called 'arabbas. 4e had to specify or may be the bible translator specified
because )esus was part of his name in order to distance )esus with )esus 'arabbas.

"nly the Gospel of )ohn seems to hold the iew that %ary the mother of
)esus was present there in front of here son while he was being crucified
! we look deeper into this further down# none of the other Gospels seem
to, and there has been doubt about who the 'ible authors actually were. If
the disciple )ohn wrote the Gospel and he claims to hae been present
there at the crucifiction, then why do the other gospels say that all thedisciples fled: 7hy the inconsistencies: It must hae been another )ohn
altogether who was not een present there but who was writing so many
years after )esus had left the world, and was writing from what he heard
others say.
The Curan has only one stand oer the issue and it is clear with no
inconsistencies=
1hapter =
&+# &nd because of their saying !in boast#, 7e killed %essiah EIesa!)esus#, son of %aryam !%ary#, the %essenger of &llh, B but they killed
him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of EIesa !)esus# was put
oer another man !and they killed that man#, and those who differ therein
are full of doubts. They hae no !certain# knowledge, they follow nothing

&nd the Curan is not con$ecture.
/ow another important point and person comes into play here, there is the
mention of )oseph of &rimathaea taking the body from the cross and
burying it. I can imagine many readers here discounting this theory bysaying you see )oseph of &rimathaea is proof. This here is a ery
important here, as we will see. 6et us see what the bible says about him

7heneer as 1hristians or een nonB1hristians you read the bible do you
eer ask yourseles these following uestions. 7hy a sepulcher: 7as it a
)ewish tradition that eery rich man should buy his own grae: The were
no records outside of the 'ible that mentioned about this issue and as a
matter of fact there was not much information about )oseph of &rimathaea
in the Gospels although he was rich and influential. 7hateer is found is inthe &pocrypha mainly the book of /icodemus !we will see that later#.There
are 2 important uestions we need to ask ourseles or rather ask the
1hristians here.
5 7hy did )esus hae or need a secret disciple:
2 7hy would this disciple own his own grae, newly dug into a rock:
The answers are clear and are found in the *criptures if only we search for
them we will find them. /ow for somebody to be a secret follower where
by out of fear he practices his new religion whereby nobody knows, that isunderstandable. %any people hae come into Islam and out of fear of their
folks they hae kept it a secret only a bunch of friends know and thats it.
'ut a disciple works for that that religion, to preach it, to help it grow and
spread the message in any way shape or form, so why was )oseph not a
secret follower of )esus rather than a disciple. *ome people might not find
it to be a big deal, that )esus had a secret disciple who had a grae dug into
a rock, but we will see the importance later.The Curan tells us why=
1hapter 5
" you who belieeR 0e you heler! (in the Cau!e) of All2h a! !aid
1Ie!a (Je!u!), !on of Maryam (Mary), to A"0a$r6n(the di!cile!)*

*o )oseph was a disciple for a reason and because he was supposed to
keep it a secret he was not going to go round spreading )esus message
and healing the lepers and the blind in the name of G"D that would
become too obious. &nd if he feared the )ews, he himself was a )ew, a
ery rich and influential. It says so in the 'ible that he was. It says also
that JHe u!ed hi! influence to bribe influential eole out of all eole

;5 !The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them># he was
of &rimathaea, a city of the )ews= who also himself waited for the
kingdom of God.
If we, for a minute, $ust go off to a different direction and search for clues
and answers we would understand the situation, let us $ust see the situation
in Islam and compare notes. &t the time when the (rophet %ohamed
!peace be upon him# receied his prophet Islam was and the %uslims who
had $ust adhered to the faith were being persecuted by the (agans and the
)ews "f %ecca. &mong those early %uslims who accept his message were
some rich and Influential people, 4is wife Ohadee$ah for one was a eryrich trader and so was his friend &bu 'akr who declared their faith openly.
Ohadee$ah gae all her wealth to the cause of Islam and &bu 'akr used to
free slaes and pay the ransom. *o they were openly promote and
spreading the message of the religion that came to them. <hough &bu
'akr together with the prophet %ohamed got beaten so badly seeral times
by their enemies but their faith was no secret. There came to Islam also
many strong and powerful people who were not to be messed with. (eoplelike "mar Ibn alBOhattab left his house armed to go and kill the (rophet
%ohamed when G"D guided him to Islam, 4e was so strong and tough
that when 4e came to Islam, he used to pray openly In %ecca and no one
messed with him. The prophets !peace be upon him# uncle 4amMa was a
hunter> he was called the lion hunter and when accepted Islam at the early
stages wheneer the nonB%uslims were persecuting the %uslims and
4amMa!('0T# turned up the persecutors fled. This strengthened the
religion of Islam with Influence, wealth and power.*o getting back to the point of )esus and why he had a secret disciple: 4is
influence and riches could hae helped )esus spread the message had he
been preaching openly. 'ut no, this disciples mission was different. The
answer is simple and it is found in the 'ible itself. 6et us go back to=
%at 52

*o the )ews did not beliee he was a prophet and needed a sign a miracle
to proe he was who he claimed he was, the one sent by God to carry his
message to the people. &nd clearly here if )esus had come to die and
resurrect after - days he would hae told them, that in itself would hae
been the miracle of all miracles. The man, G"D was bestowing his
faours on by making him perform miracles, raising the dead, walking onwater and healing lepers, is, himself going to die and be raised again.
7ould that not be a sign to conince them but )esus tells them otherwise

theory that some 7riters hae put forward is that )esus was crucified and
spent one day on the cross then was taken down at night and put in the
*epulcher, this does not make - days it is one day and one night. I will tell
you that )esus son of %ary was all the time in the *epulcher for - full days
from the time )esus 'arabbas was taken to be crucified and let us look into
the time factor now, if Je!u! wa! laced in the tomb on 7riday !un!etthen one day i! %one he !end! one ni%ht on the cro!!# aturday all day

Friday sunset up to *unday sunrise when he was not there, then definitely it
does not make - days and - nights, thus we cannot accept that the prophecy
of the (rophet )esus was not fulfilled. 7hat more like happened was that
when (ilate asked who the crowd wanted freed )esus son of the father or)esus son of the father, the fact that G"D had disfigured )esus and they did
not recogniMe him. &nd the one that they chose to be freed was actually
)esus himself. &nd as he said=7or a! I came downward, no one !aw me#

corners of the prison were raised up. That would hae been a great miracle
by itself. 'ut instead it is hidden away in the apocryphal books and I am
sure most 1hristians hae not een seen or heard about it, why: 'ecause it
most likely did not happen and if )oseph was relating it to the )ews, he wasdoing a great $ob in deceiing them because his $ob was to hide )esus for -

we not rather it was one of these three who was humiliated and crucified

not hae let his beloed go through this, G"D is not un$ust. For one of the
greatest prophets who walked this earth to be crucified with 2 robbers on
each side, is this not humiliation. 7hy was (ilate so keen on crucifying+obbers yet he let a killer like )esus 'arrabas and insurgent walk free, is
that the $ustice of G"D while he allowed a Great prophet an innocent man

%ary %agdalene decided to go and anoint the dead body of )esus, There
hae been many disputes about the reason why she would want to go andanoint the dead body of )esus, it was neither a 1hristian nor a )ewish
tradition to do so. & body that was wrapped in so much linen how was she
going to anoint it any anointing should hae been done before the
shrouding with linen. /ow we, hae to bear in mind that if we were to
beliee the Gospel of )ohn and accept that %ary %agdalene was there
when the 1rucifiction took place then she knew things that others did not.
&ccording to 1hristianity she too was a disciple and was close to )esus, so
for her to go to the sepulcher with the intention of anointing him she musthae known he was not dead but was hiding there. &s we hae seen that
)esus was beaten and torture prior to the trial and e

59 It was %ary %agdalene, and )oanna, and %ary the mother of )ames,
and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the
apostles.
7ho do we actually beliee in this case, what actually took place: 7e will
actually take one of the renditions here and stick to that rather than chopand change. It is amaMing how the gospel of )ohn seems to different a lot
from the other -.There has been a lot of controersy about the Gospel of
)ohn, much has been discoered and said about it.
7e can see on religionBonline.com this interesting article, which says=
$he 9roblem 9re!ented by $he $raditional Attribution to John, the
on of Kebedee
The tradition that this gospel was written by the apostle )ohn can be traced
back to the second century, but has been widely challenged during the lasthundred years. Two difficulties in particular stand in the way of the
acceptance of the tradition, the slowness and difficulty with which it
became established, and the difference between the *ynoptic and the
)ohannine portraits of )esus.

There is more lots more, please read on=

The gospel of )ohn most 1hristians is the most important of all gospels
howeer many scholars claim that the )ohn that the Gospel claims to beauthored by is not the same )ohn that was actually written and referred
to in the 'ible as the apostle that )esus loed. <hough there are so
many controersies concerning this gospel, I think it would be more
than appropriate to look into this Gospel !)ohn# and uote some erses
from it, as some of the clues and answers lie in there. &nd since )ohn is
claiming to be the eyewitness gospel of the !as 1hristians seem to
proclaim# there are many things we can deduce from his gospel. *o at
this point in time we see %ary %agdalene heading to the *epulcher toanoint )esus and as we can see she is not alone howeer the Gospel of
)ohn does not mention any body else with her, so let us stick to that
ersion of the story for now. *o according to )ohn she went there and
found )esus was not there, the cae was open the stone rolled away from
the entrance=
)ohn 29=
5/ow on the first dayH of the week cometh %ary %agdalene early,while it was yet dark, unto the tomb, and seeth the stone taken away
from the tomb.
*o %ary %agdalene runs to tell the others=
)ohn 29=
2*he runneth therefore, and cometh to *imon (eter, and to the other
di!cile whom Je!u! lo"ed,and saith unto them, They hae taken away
the 6ord out of the tomb, and we know not where they hae laid him.
Interestingly enough 1hristians claim that the Gospel of )ohn waswritten by )ohn the Jdisciple whom )esus loedK.7hy does he then
refer to himself in the second person here and other places: *o at the
time (eter and the beloed )ohn went into the sepulcher there was no
one else there as far as )ohns gospel has it not een )esus. /o angels
and no guards so any one could walk in freely and walk out freely too.
*o after they had left it was %ary who saw the two angels, who had not
manifested themseles to )ohn the alleged author and (eter but had
suddenly appeared to %ary %agdalene.

55 'ut %ary stood without at the sepulchre weeping= and as she wept,
she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
52 &nd seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the
other at the feet, where the body of )esus had lain.
&nd they spoke to her, but not to (eter and the "ne )esus was supposed
to hae loed so much. They decided to wait for the disciples to go thenmanifest themseles to %ary %agdalene only it says aboe she $ust
stooped down and looked into the cae and saw them, howeer )ohn and
(eter went in and saw nothing. &ccording to the other renditions, the
angels told the other women too who were with %ary at the time they
went to the cae and they een told them to tell the others so according
to the other gospels eery one else knew about these angels and were
told )esus has risen. "nly the Gospel of )ohn does not mention this.
5 &nd when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and !aw Je!u!!tandin%, and knew not that it wa! Je!u!#
*o )esus was behind her, he suddenly made an apparition behind her, he
too let )ohn !his beloed Disciple# and peter leae and allowed %ary
%agdalene to see him. 7hat about the other 2 to - women that %att,
%ark and 6uke say were with her, did they not see )esus: /ow we hae

"k, in brief, )esus tells %ary to assemble the others etc and he goes to
meet them, one time, they hae no problems in recogniMing him !according
to Dear )ohn#. &ll 'ut doubting Thomas is there and then he comes back
after days now to find Thomas there.
)ohn 25=
2A Then saith he to Thomas, +each hither thy finger, and see my hands>and reach hither thy hand, and put it into my side= and be not faithless, but
belieing.
&gain he does not say J*ee the holes in my hand and feetK, he says see my
hands and feet, i.e. I am human not a ghost and I am alie, beliee that I did
not die.
4eb L=
2A &nd as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the $udgment
3en 1hristian scholars hae raised doubt oer the doubting Thomas erseaboe.
$he .oble 'uran Chater *
&+# PPP : but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the
resemblance of EIesa !)esus# was put oer another man!and they killed that
man#,and tho!e who differ therein are full of doubt!#
/ow another point to raise here is, before he comes back again and meetsThomas, the first meeting he had with them. The Gospel according to 6uke
says=

them, Ha"e ye here anythin% to eat?

2 There were together *imon (eter, and Thomas called Didymus, and
/athanael of 1ana in Galilee, and the sons of ?ebedee, and two other of his

the di!cile! knew not that it wa! Je!u!#
+ $hen Je!u! !aith unto them, Children, ha"e ye any meat?They
answered him, /o.
This here again proes the aboe point that before he was to be raised up to
his lord, indefinitely,
('uran) Chater * &+-# 'ut &llh raised him EIesa !)esus#H up !with his
body and soul# unto 4imself !and he is in the heaens#. &nd &llh is 3er
&ll(owerful, &ll7ise,
he was to be unnoticeable by een his own disciples. (eter and een
doubting Thomas, who was supposed to hae met him a while before that,
did not recognise him, een his faourite, beloed disciple )ohn. In order to
be sure it was him they would only hae to look at his hands and feet, if theholes were there !or what would hae started to heal but wounds or the
scars would hae remained# then definitely it would hae been )esus. *o
how can any one else guarantee that it was definitely )esus who was on that
cross when he appeared to them - times and they did not recogniMe him
only after he spoke they recogniMed his oice. &gain he asked them for
food. &ll this is there to show people clearly, for those who want to see that
he was not G"D and also that he was not crucified. &mple eidence is
there we $ust hae to want to see it.

Where did the the concet of the cruci fiction come from*
<hough most of the learned 1hristians acknowledge and accept that thebible was not written by one particular person at one
particular period in time, and that )esus was not the actual
founder of modern day 1hristianity but *aul of Tarsus &O&
*t (aul was, most of the common, unlearned 1hristians hope
to beliee the contrary. They hae been made to beliee that
like the Curan, that the 'ible was written at one period of
time while the prophet was still alie. 4oweer if we look
into 1hristian history and scriptures we see that they werewritten by seeral unknown authors, oer a long period of
time, we also see that the teachings of )esus hae been left far
behind and the teachings of *aul of Tarsus, known to eery
one as *t (aul, has taken precedence. %ost unlearned
1hristians would dispute the fact that (aul changed the
"riginal teachings of )esus and made his own ersion called
1hristianity that he himself conerted to.

no eye witnesses at all since according to (aul they saw nothing and heard
nothing. In three different renditions of the same eent - different stories
are told and all - contradict the fact there were eyewitnesses to that eent.

way before the other gospels and nothing in the "ld Testament refers to
