Do Indians and Turks have Jesus' too that means they don't work today?

Look I am not saying I agree with the theory. Just replying to a post. I am interested in Gnostic Christianity though.

Just about to pull you up there for a crass spelling of agnostic, but my Little Oxford Dictionary put me right!

I've just been down Boundary rd and bought Mrs C7 a large chicken kebab,large fries and a double cheese burger,before anyone says she's a greedy pig may i point out she's 8 1/2 months pregnant.

If you went to the golden grill i would get some hot towels ready,that eatery has the power to move the stomach in mysterious ways

So far so good.

I have read that it is more than possible that Jesus and his followers faked it.

Unlikely. Although the Roman guards may have been open to bribery, this would only have extended to easing his pain.

The theory goes that when one is crucified it takes days to die. Jesus died in a few hours. The sponge that was past to him may have contained a narcotic. Giving the impression of death.

Possible, I suppose. Come on Juan, let's have a Christian perspective; how would you discount this theory?

Or it could have been the severe beating he took ahead of time. Three days for a relatively healthy person maybe, but someone who has just been whipped to within an inch of his life?

I think that's an equaliser

Do you have some special knowledge then?

Does this mean that I have to give back all my easter eggs??

Think the majority of crucified took a beating before execution. It was the Roman way. What about Joseph of Arimethea asking pilate for his body afterwards. I don't think this was allowed.

The Turin shroud is interesting because the person it was used on was alive according to pathologists

No just a laymans interest.

No Easter or eostre is a pagan festival. So your ok

 

[skipper734]

There's a prog. about the Turin Shroud on More 4 at the moment. You wouldn't want to be crucified, and all that went with it.

Oh dear. It was a Gnostic joke. . . I would have thought that even a layman would have got it. . .

I mean, ' having special knowledge' is only what Gnosticism was all about . . .

I did get it. Just wasn't sure if you mean't that

 

[Nottseagull]

Well I don't. Even after learning what esoteric means!

My LOD defines Gnosticism as early Christian heretic claims of knowledge concerning spiritual mysteries.
