Part 2: The Crucifixion Conspiracy … Introduction
“He is not here; for he has been raised,
just as he said he would.”
~ Matthew 28:6
“I am the resurrection and the life.
He that believes in me,
even though he were dead, shall live …
And whomever lives and believes in me
shall never die. … Very truly I tell you,
whomever truly believes in me
will do the works I do.”
~ Jesus Christ
(John 11:25-26 & John 14:12)
“If you believe whatever you happen to like in the Gospel,
and reject whatever you happen to not like,
it is not the Gospel in which you believe,
but rather yourself.” ~ St. Augustine of Hippo
Easter comes anew with each new spring, providing us with a time of rebirth; a time of renewal; and – at least for Christians – a time for redemption. While the first half of this treatise succeeded in reconciling the many apparent contradictions related to the when’s & who’s & where’s & what’s of the Bible’s resurrection story, this latter portion will provide an alternative answer to the all-important question of “Why?” … and in so doing, will prove to be an alternative analysis that not only more accurately reflects the general narrative of the Bible’s ancient manuscripts, but one that actually gives more honor & pays more homage to its main protagonist (Jesus Christ) as well.
That, at least, was my humble intention while penning this epistle. You the reader will have to determine to what degree I have succeeded — or not.
As allWays … enJOY regardless!
