Was God dead for three days when Jesus was crucified? Or was only a part of God dead for those three days? So, for three days, there wasn't a Trinity. What existed during that three days: the Duality? Did Jesus have God's DNA along with Mary's. I realized Jesus' DNA may have been unique. In fact, al...

Adam was not perfect because at the first opportunity, he committed sin. And I don't equate perfect as being without sin. Rather I see humans as being fully able to commit sin. But I don't see God as being capable of committing sin. That is the distinction I am making. You have not answered my quest...

The title to your website is a little misleading. I think that for anything to be understood, it has to be understood in its context. Why does Christianity try to mask and hide the context??? I am NOT an atheist. Nothing I have read or discovered has shaken my belief in God. But I do have a myriad o...

I'm more of a historian than theologian. But it's certainly miraculous that the NT writers and historians didn't say more about such an amazing event. I'm also surprised Jesus didn't go back to preaching his gospel after he came back to life. If he didn't die a second time, what's the point in ascen...

The apostle Paul maintained that a physical person could not go to heaven. See Corinthinans 15:50. And that seems to make sense. I mean you can't have physical people floating around in space, can you??? Yet, the NT maintains that Jesus physically came back from the dead. If Christians claimed that ...

Recognize that there was 40 years of story telling by traveling story tellers before anything was written in the NT. Now, I don't know if Paul or any of those other story tellers made anything up or embellished the story during that time, but the Christian writers sure did afterwards. Again, since y...

The Church (in concert with the Roman government) adopted a view of Christianity most compatible to Rome. The Church also made a concerted effort to destroy all of the conflicting accounts of the story. (See Lost Christianities by Bart D. Ehrman) An unknown author wrote the Gospel of Mark (the first...

To establish control over Judea, the Romans appointed collaborators like Caiaphas to be high Priest of the Jews. Caiaphas in turn appointed Paul to root out insurgencies. For all we know, Paul may have had a hand in Jesus' crucifixion. Five years after Jesus' death, Paul changed tactics and professe...

Jesus Barabbas
I recently read the Essene Origins of Christianity by Edmond Bordeaux Szekely. Szekely was educated at the Univ. of Paris and Univ. of Austria, and was conversant in a multitude of languages, including Hebrew and Aramaic. In 1923, Szekely allegedly discovered some Essene documents in the secret arch...
