Hi
I think Jesus never died on the Cross, he was put on the Cross, nevetheless he was delivered from it unconscious but alive.His friends who endeavoured to save his life, they manouvered events, in such ways that made it possible to save his life with the help of GodAllahYHWH who always helps his messengers in the tribulations against all odds.
Jesus’ friends asked for the body of Jesus from the Pilate and when their request was acceded to by Pilate, they took him hurriedly to a tomb; they did not take him to bury in a grave, they knew that the man is alive, to bury him in a grave would suffocate him and make him dead. No, they took him into a spacious tomb where he was laid and treatment of his injuries on Cross was done there. When Jesus gained consciousness and strength enough for a journey they helped him to come out of the tomb. They were the angels whom the women saw.
So, it is a case of resussication, in my opinion.

The problem with that is that it is impossible to only seem dead during a crucifixion. In order to breathe, one must lift their body up. The way a person dies during crucifixion is that they are so exhausted they can no longer lift themselves up and they suffocate. So if Jesus passed out or even pretended to be dead, he would really be dead in just a few minutes.

Hi Stephen Bedard!
I respect your opinion but I can’t agree with you for reasons.
Jesus was not the only person put on Cross; there were two other persons mentioned in the NTBible, perhaps of more age than Jesus. They all suffered the same kind of treatment on the Cross. They had the same kind of difficulty of breathing if any on the Cross; yet they only died for sure when their legs were broken.
On a pretex Jesus’ legs were not broken, perhaps there was some sort of hidden collabration between the friends of Jesus, in my opinion, and the Pilate or the Roman officials. You know Pilate exclaimed with surprise that Jesus had died so soon.
I love Jesus and hence would love to see him survive against all odds. Paul was an enemy of Jesus so he invented a story at Rome that Jesus died a cursed or sinful death on Cross.
Jesus was then alive and in self-exile in India. Jesus did not die on Cross, he survived and died a peaceful and natural death in India, at some point in the history.
Please don’t mind; we are searching of truth.

I don’t mind disagreeing as long as we are respectful. There is no evidence in the Gospels that the other two were older, they may in fact have been younger and stronger, we can not know. Jesus may have died sooner than the others because of the beating he received before the crucifixion. Also, it is known that there is a mental factor involved. Some people fight to stay alive and some people embrace death. If Jesus believed it was God’s will for him to die on the cross, he may have been less willing to fight for every breath. It certainly is interesting for us to discuss. Keep searching for the truth!

Your opinions take in a lot “secret” things that would have had to happen. Don’t forget that to bribe a roman guard, it would have taken a lot. Rome did not look litely on those kinds of things. Remember the story of when the stone was rolled away? It was a serious offense if those guards were sleeping.
What facts are there to support the India theory?
Also remember that all these “witnesses” paid with their lives. If it was a bunch of lies, I wouldn’t go to the death for that.

Jesus’ guards were bribed it is very much in the NTBible.
It is easy to understand from the NTBible that Jesus followers knew that the guards could be bribed. If the Jews could do it; why not Jesus’ friends? Everrything was possible to do secretly.
Please read carefully the following write-up.
Promised Messiah 1835-1908 Says:
In short, these gospels contain many things which show that they have not preserved their original form, or that their writers were some other persons — not the disciples. For example, can the statement of the gospel according to Matthew: ‘And this is well known among the Jews till to-day’, be properly ascribed to Matthew? Does it not show that the writer of the gospel of Matthew was some other person who lived at a time when Matthew had already died? Then, the same gospel of Matthew 28:12,13 says: And they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, saying, Say ye, his disciples came by night and stole him away while we slept’.
It would be noticed how unconvincing and irrational such statements are. If the meaning of this statement is that the Jews wanted to conceal the rising of Jesus from the dead, and that they had bribed the soldiers in order that this great miracle should not become generally known, why was it that Jesus, whose duty it was to proclaim this miracle among the Jews, kept it a secret; nay, he forbade even others to disclose it? If it is urged that he was afraid of being caught, I would say, that when the decree of God had descended upon him, and he had, after suffering death, come to life again, assuming a spiritual and a glorious body, what fear did he now have of the Jews — surely the Jews now had no power over him; he was now beyond and above mortal existence?
One observes with regret that while, on the one hand, it is said that he was made to live again and assume a spiritual body, that he met the disciples and went to Galilee and thence went to heaven, he is nevertheless afraid of the Jews for quite trivial things and, in spite of his glorious body, he fled secretly from the country, lest the Jews discover him; he made a journey of seventy miles to Galilee in order to save his life and time and again asked the people not to mention this to others.
Are these the signs and ways of a glorious body? No, the truth is that it was not a new and a glorious body — it was the same body, with wounds on it, which had been saved from death; and, as there was still the fear of the Jews, Jesus, making use of all precautions, left the land. All talk of anything contrary to this is absurd — as the one about the Jews having bribed the soldiers in order to make them say that the disciples had stolen the corpse while they (the soldiers) were asleep. If the soldiers were asleep they could be very well asked how they came to know in their sleep that the corpse of Jesus had been stolen away. From the mere fact of Jesus not being in the tomb, can anybody in reason believe that he had gone up to heaven?

I think it is very easy to understand and you would agree.
I respect your faith and I love Jesus and Muhammad.
