Peace Zombie,
What scholars believe that Jesus wasn't crucified?
Saying that Jesus was magically replaced in the flesh is totally bogus.
It's a sad excuse when so much historical evidence and prophecies support Jesus's crucifixion.
I bet Mary would have noticed if Jesus was someone else when He was taken down from the cross!
Here's an interesting historical account:
Letter Of Mara Bar-Serapion: A British Museum manuscript (written by a father to his son, sometime after A.D. 73) states, "What advantage did the Athenians gain from putting Socrates to death? Famine and plague came upon them as judgment for their crime. What advantage did the men of Samos gain from burning Pythagoras? In a moment their land was covered with sand. What advantage did the Jews gain from executing their wise King? It was just after that that their kingdom was abolished. God justly avenged these three wise men: the Athenians died of hunger; the Samians were overwhelmed by the sea; the Jews, ruined and driven from their land, live in complete dispersion. But Socrates did not die for good; he lived on in the teaching of Plato. Pythagoras did not die for good; he lived on in the statue of Hera. Nor did the wise King die for good; He lived on in the teaching which He had given."
The Jews did execute their wise King, hmmmm I wonder who this wise King could be????? Help me out here.
