Did Jesus actually die?

I don't know, I haven't read it. There's a lot more interesting stuff to read on the subject. E.g. http://www.thevesselofgod.com/

A bit hard on the eye though Bosse! All that green and black.... I might read it tomorrow night, but i've got a heap of work I need to get finished before Xmas, or Christmas or whatever people want to call it....

Any takers?

I simplisticly disagree. I offer no other validation. The notion is highly assumptive, as is my own position. No more, no less. 😉

There are always many theories to explain away the supernatural.

Although the Muslim version of events does not have that intention.

Yes - it was to diminish the divinity of Jesus to that of a mere prophet.

*Bosse, are you feverishly Googling on this one?* 😵

At least he wasn't turned into an agent of Satan!

(no, this is a light-hearted thread in which I have no vested interest).

I am still of the opinion that he was turned into an agent of violence and repetition.

I shall not mention his name lest he appear. (Not him, the other one).

Yes. It's best not to discuss this type of thing...

Isn't he currently banned? Or did you have somebody else in mind?

Jesus did die on a cross and did rise from the dead.Also the apostles were tortured and killed for the things they claimed to witness.Would anyone let alone many die for a known lie ?

Yes. Human nature.

No less assumptive, but much more plausible than the notion that he rose from the dead. Let's consult statistics.

How many people have gone into hiding because someone was after them ?
loads.

How many people have been killed, and then risen from the dead some days later ?
none, or assuming it was the case in this instance, one

I'd say the chances of jesus hiding out for a few days far outweigh the alternative proposed.

It doesn't mean he wasn't a really nice guy.
