Introduction

For many years the author has had discussions with 1hristians oer many

issues and most often he has found that the answers to these discussions

that he had and continues to hae, lie there in the 'ible and other te


7/73

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

were no eyewitnesses eidences that this eent actually took place the waywe are told and are e


8/73

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. &lthough you may not agree with the

author at first, een then, please read on.

First of all let us see what the /oble Curan says about this in Chater *

&+# &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

but con$ecture. For surely> they killed him not i.e. EIesa !)esus#, son of

%aryam !%ary#H&&+-# 'ut &llh raised him EIesa !)esus#H up !with his

)esus was not the one being crucified although the people were looking and

thinking it was him. *ome of these te


11/73


12/73

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.&nother 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

5%t2=

- Then saith he unto them, %y soul is e


13/73

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

-The ban*or cohort was a tenth part of a +oman legion, and consisted of from four hundred to si 3en %oses has spoken about them, their nature in the "T in

Deut L=22

*o )esus son of the father !son of %ary# according to the 'ible came for the

lost tribe of Israel. *ome of the )ews belieed in him and many did not

!)ohn 55= ;B;5#! the )ews, who had taunted and Oilled (rophets in the past

and wanted him dead too# as mentioned in %T 2= ;LB5.

)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.

The ne

9 'ut found none= yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. &t the last cametwo falsewitnesses,

killed the prophets.

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?

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

it was him who died on the cross: 0p to this point the bible authors still

hae an eyewitness. (eter followed them from far. %t 2A

)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.

7ell, one common word between the two, in 4ebrew and &ramaic

J0arabba!,Kin 3nglish the son of the Father. 0armeaning the son and

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

8eshua. Greek=+eso#s ton Barabbas.

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=

"n the other hand we hae )esus son of %ary, a man approed of G"D-,

a prophet

&nd the multitude said, this is )esus the prophet of /aMareth of Galilee.#;

)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.

)esus saith unto her, Touch me not> for I am not yet ascended

to my Father= but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my

Father, and your Father> and tomy God, and your God.

*o you hae )esus son of the father, prophet, teacher, healer, preacher and

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

not e

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

55=5 confirms that )esus prayed to God, cried asked for help and he was heard, his

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

who too were not there. Gods power works in wonderful ways, ways we

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

)udgment !who also found nothing wrong and returned him#. (ilate, a hard

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:

/o one witnessed the meeting between (ilate and )esus and een if there

were where is the eidence.

'y that time G"D could hae already worked his wonders=

Chater *

&+# PPP B but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but there!emblance of 1Ie!a (Je!u!) wa! ut o"er another man (and they killed

that man), &and tho!e who differ therein are full of doubt!#

It should be the criminal who was going to bear the brunt of getting

crucified not an innocent man. & man approed of G"D. Fair isnt it: The

(unishment for death is death, is God un$ust: 7as an innocent man going

to die and a criminal to walk free: Is there )ustice in there: G"D is not

un$ust. 3en (ilate had made up his mind and it was final=6uke 2-

5 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

It was said that )esus was beaten so much that he was beyond recognition=

Isaiah ;2=

!This translation of the Curan stating that the resemblance of )esus put on somebody else

may hae been in reference to the bible erse from Isaiah ;2 !uoted below# where it says

wa! !o di!fi%ured beyond that of any man and hi! form marred beyond

4e was chastised so badly by the +omans to please the )ews, but not killed.

&nother point to bear in mind is that )esus was beaten badly in the face and

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

how could any one confirm it was he on the cross: 'eing disfigured G"D

could hae made )esus look like someone else and that person to look like

him.

6uke 2-

5 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

(ilate was thinking of releasing )esus son of %ary. &ccording to the 'ible,

!only according to %ark# it was tradition to hae a feast eery year inwhich (ilate releases prisoners in &mnesty=

%ark 2A

5; /ow at that feast the goernor was wont to release unto the people a

prisoner, whom they would.5

%ark 2A

5 &nd they had then a notable prisoner, called 'arabbas.2

& 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

that there were two thiees who were allegedly crucified ne


25/73

5L 7hen he was set down on the $udgment seat, his wife sent unto him,

saying, 4ae thou nothing to do with that $ust man= for I hae suffered

many things this day in a dream because of him.

7ho would he listen to most his wife or the )ews:

(ilate was ready to release )esus son of the father so he brought them in

front of the people, with )esus haing been beaten so badly he wasdisfigured=

%at 2A=

5A Therefore when they were gathered together, (ilate said unto them,

7hom will ye that I release unto you: 'arabbas, or )esus which is called

1hrist:5

If it was a tradition for the goernor (ilate to release a prisoner at the time

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

release, haing seen no fault in )esus son of %ary he would hae releasedhim without them een asking the )ews, after all he was the Goernor and

did not need their consent.

)ohn 5L=

(ilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, 'ehold, I bring

him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.

4ere again there is no consistency in the reports of the Gospel writers .In

order not to gie the impression that copied each other they all gaedifferent accounts of what happened. "ne eent, different renditions by

different writers, none of them being present there to witness anything.

)ohn 5=

-L 'ut ye hae a custom, that I should release unto you one at the

(assoer= will ye therefore that I release unto you the Oing of the )ews:

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.

&lthough the custom is mentioned but the contest is not mentioned as

aboe and as from the other Gospel authors where the choice is gien. 7hy

There is ample eidence een in 1hristian scriptures here as we can see that

)esus !son of %ary# was not crucified.

5"rigen and other 'ible %anuscripts referred to him as )esus 'arabbas as that was his

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

first, as not much is mentioned 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. &lthough &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

- Then certain of the scribes and of the (harisees answered, saying,

%aster, we would see a sign from thee.

-


35/73

*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

that in itself should be the miracle of all miracles=

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#

history and it is hidden in the apocrypha: &ccording to )oseph the four

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 -

days and make them beliee he was dead.

and )esus in the midst.To confirm the Jwho is 4I% Jtheory, )ohn refers it all to )esus and *imon

is not mentioned at all. )ohn actually claims )esus carried his cross, we see

the contradictions in the renditions. )ohn always uses the Jholier than

thouK attitude where he attributes eery thing to )esus een thou we find

that )esus did not actually say or do some of the stuff he claims.

It goes on to say that it was written on his 1ross T43 OI/G "F T43

was not )esus who was on that cross, it could hae been )esus 'arabbas, it

could een hae been *imon of 1yrene or it could hae been )udas. 7ould

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

instead of )esus. 7ith all the humiliation and the mockery, G"D, would

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

to die. Think about it. This is why those who were present were asking the

- days had gone and prophecy fulfilled )esus had to get out of the cae,

alie and kicking. /ow early morning on the first day of the week *unday

%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


49/73

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=

!http=QQwww.religionBonline.orgQshowchapter.asp:title;-5U1;;#

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. &lthough 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

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

will take him away.

7hy would she suppose that )esus, her 6ord, her teacher, who she knew

ery well, was a gardener: Do gardeners look e do they get disfigured so no one notices them: Do they

wear masks or at least did they do in those days: If I ask my son what he

wants to be when he grows up and he says he wants to be a gardener,

would I hae to worry that he will not look the same, that his mother and Iwill not notice him any more: 7ould he hae to disguise himself when

he does any gardening: If I decide to deote some of my time in doing my

"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=

6uke 2=

5 &nd while they still disbelieed for $oy, and wondered, he said unto

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

2 And they %a"e him a iece of a broiled fi!h#

- And he took it, and ate before them.

@ery interesting, what we can deduce from these three erses is that=1 (esus as#s for food' dead peop"e do not eat' he $as hiding a"i,e in the

)ohn 25=

5 &fter these things )esus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea

of Tiberias> and on this wise shewed he himself.

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

disciples. 0ut when the mornin% wa! now come, Je!u! !tood on the !hore* but

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*

&lthough 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.

Who wa! aul of $ar!u!*

*aul of tarsus, !born 59 13 and died A9 13#, born a +oman citiMen but

originally a )ew, from the Tribe of 'en$amin. 4e was related to 4erod. 4e

was not a (alestinian )ew, as was )esus and his followers. (aul was a

4ellenist or Diaspora )ew. 4e was a (harisee, from the same (harisees who

)esus always reprimanded and the same (harisees that wanted )esus dead.

(aul was a )ew when he needed to be one and roman when he needed to be

66/73

which we can see that those who he claimed were his eye witnesses, were

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.

3en *aul of tarsus had a blinding eye disease !"pthalmia# that he was not

able to see properly and there was no way he could hae seen anyone infront of him that clearly, especially, a ray of light. 7hen he heard the oice

he called out Jmy lordK. 4e did not know )esus, did not meet nor een

speak to him. *o how he was sure when he heard the oice that it was

)esus: 6ike I mentioned aboe the people he claimed saw and heard )esus

did not see nor hear anything. 4e says it himself in the book of &cts. *o

how can we now take his words as truth when he een says in his letter to

the +omans:

+omans -*If through my lies Gods truth abounds to 4is glory, why am I still being

condemned as a sinner:

4e confesses that he lied about G"Ds word, so do we take his Gospel as

truth

learned person can conclude that (aul was the true founder of what we call

today, J1hristianityK. /ot )esus.

In contrasts to the self imposed apostle who een the disciples were afraid

of because they did not know (aul was an apostle, )ames in keeping with

)as 2=5 7hat doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and

hae not works: can faith sae him:

5A 3en so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

5 8ea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I hae works= shew me thy

faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

29 'ut wilt thou know, " ain man, that faith without works is dead:

&cts 5;=

5A That the residue of men might seek after the 6ord, and all the Gentiles,upon whom my name is called, saith the 6ord, who doeth all these things.

5 Onown unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.

5L 7herefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among

the Gentiles are turned to God=

29 'ut that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols,

and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

25 For %oses of old time hath in eery city them that preach him, beingread in the synagogues eery sabbath day.

7e can see clearly why )ames and (aul neer saw eye to eye as we can see

that )esus in so many places mentioned about how important it was to

uphold the law and the works

and then he shall reward eery man according to his works.For those 1hristians who continuously 1laim that (aul did not change

Is all this not enough eidence that (aul was guilty of 1hanging the true

message of )esus and making his own religion the called In &ntioch andcall today J1hristianityK:

(aul een claims that he receied reelation direct form )esus not from any

human. &lready he has made )esus sub human. &lso we know ery well

that it is G"D who gies reelation either through the &ngel Gabriel or in

the case of %oses he directly spoke to G"D. *o how on earth did (aul

receie reelation from )esus when )esus did not gie reelation he

receied it himself from the one and only true G"D=

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

this. The 4arpers 'ible commentary backs this up too Jthe earliest written

eidence of the resurrection is not in the gospels but in (auls first letter to
