That's my take on the matter. I think I may have mentioned that I see that Yeshua and several close friends saw that in order for him to survive and not be treated as others who claimed to be Messiah have been treated (executed in some manner), that he would have to arrange a public...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/westwend3496/534202I just checked out links to writers mentioned by Soul_Builder101, These, among many others, doubt that Yeshua really lived. I will agree with them that the Jesus Christ portrayed by traditional Christianity did not live. Enough evidence is given that much has been fabricated about this figure. It...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/westwend3496/531745The women, per Greek source text, came to the tomb as the Sabbath was ending, at sundown. They encountered a "young man" per Mark. Yeshua was gone. The young man told them that "He has gone before you into Galilee." There is no real statement of when Yeshua left that tomb -- only that he wasn't...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/westwend3496/531259JESUS' LAST DAYS (let's call him Yeshua) Yeshua was a popular rabbi in Galilee, where religious belief deviated from mainstream Judaism.

I am "watching", although not every minute of it (mostly just a few minutes) of DECODING THE PAST, a History Channel offering. This particular program deals with the Holy Grail and the discussion on whether it was the "Cup of Christ", or the "Bloodline of Christ". Problem is,...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/westwend3496/455463I've talked about the crucifixion in another blog, showing that there is evidence enough to question whether Yeshua (Jesus) really died at all.
