" If we just fit Him with a pair of cement sandles (remember this guy walks on water!) and take him for a little boat ride on Lake Tiberias, there might be a little backlash from the loaves and fishes crowd. However, if we can get the Legal Authorities (Pontius Pilate, J Edgar Hoover, whomever) to sanction (grant us a warrant) the wacking, and even get them to do the dirty deed themselves, we can distance ourselves from the brutal crucifixion of " the Lord " , so we won't have to worry about attendance dropping off at the Temple's Friday services. Sure you can call the Romans accomplices all you want but they were unwitting accomplices to be sure. The Romans were played by the Sanhedrin. As as been amply documented, Pilate would have been more than happy to wash his hands of the whole thing, if only had he been so able. Pilate though Jesus to be just another, garden variety, religious fanatci and really didn't want to be involved in what he considered to be a strictly intramural matter between the High Priests and some religious upstart. Pilate was a good administrator but a moral coward who was manipulated by the Sanhedrin into signing off on Jesus' death warrant. Nothing esoteric about it. Plain politics, pure and simple. It's all about money and control. So vat els iss nu???? <<further snip>> > I'm luvin Pete's explanation now.

Who knew? > P: Well, let's indulge a little speculation (a la Al Anders) based on some historic facts. Fact # 1: Jesus died at the ripe old age of 33 (average life span at that time was below 30) so natural death by one of the many contagious deadly diseases running amuck at that time is not out of the question. Fact # 2: There is no historic record either in Judea, or Rome that a Jesus lived, preached, and was executed for crimes against the state at that time. Fact # 3: The Roman bureaucracy ran a vast empire and kept detailed records of all major events. It would have been in Pontious Pilate interest to let the Emperor know he had executed a rebel who claimed to be King of Judea. It seems Jesus was either never crucified, or the records of the event were so negative to his image that after Constantine conversion to Christianity the unflattering records were destroyed. Let's imagine that the little caper with the Temple's merchants went sour, and one of the merchants came after Jesus with a chair, and knocked him dead. Well, you could not put that in the Gospels, it sounds almost like the merchant was only defending his property like any reasonable businessman would do. No drama there, no heroic death. Could it be that the disciples went to preach to the Greeks because everyone in Judea knew who Jesus really was, and how he died. Just a wild guess.

REALLY it was! I have absolutely no idea why I'm currently interested in western christian history, [never thought that would ever happen to me] but here I am engrossed in these 3 books mentioned. Just picked up the 3rd book today called, The book of Hiram, and it's reading almost like a Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew mystery and I'm tellin ya I'm rivetted. Who knew? Anyhow, this book sheds some different light on Rome at that time. Apparently they were looking for a knew religion in order to control the masses. At that time in the now [ever staying advaitta correct LOL] church and state weren't separate as they are now, oops, I forgot about Bush, oh nevermind -- so they needed a new religion to call their own to keep control. They saw this new Nazorean/Essene sect that belonged to Jesus,James,John etc., and saw it as a perfect plan. One problem though, they had to kill the head guys because they weren't giving their secrets out to those Roman guys. James was killed later and Paul, so the story is now going, was actually in league with Paul and Peter who had [for whatever reason, I can't remember now] gone more over to the Roman side of things. If your at all interested in this sort of history I highly recommend this trilogy by C Knight. I have this sense of the theories put forward in these books as being true, simply because it correlates well with Roman Catholicism known history and Free Masonry history.
