WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BODY OF JESUS ?
I always wondered what happened to the body of Jesus after the
Romans (conspiring with the Pharisees) tortured and crucified Jesus.
I am not suggesting that you believe in any of the possibilities.
What you believe is up to you. However, anyone who is not narrow
minded or gullible, should be aware of some of the possibilities,
since there is no empirical evidence, nor any witnesses, that can
verify the truth of any of the possibilities.
Here are some of the possibilities:
First, the least probable ones:
1. During the night, his body suffered Instantaneous Human
Combustion. However, instantaneous human combustion always leaves
ashes and some small fragments that were not completely burned. And
there was no report of such ashes or fragments found in the shroud
that was left behind. Therefore this was very improbable.
2. His molecules and atoms were converted into energy. This release
of energy would have been enormous and would have caused a nuclear
explosion that would have destroyed all of Judea. Therefore this
could not have happened, according to the laws of physics.
3. During the night, his body miraculously healed it self. Then the
huge stone, blocking the tomb, was magically or miraculously moved
aside, the Roman soldiers guarding the tomb were put to sleep, and
Jesus left for an unknown destination (heaven perhaps ? if there is
a heaven). This requires religious belief in magical miracles that
defies the laws of physics.
Now the more probable ones:
1. As described in the book "The Passover Plot", during the night,
some of the conspirator of the Passover plot tried to revived Jesus,
but could not because of the damaged caused by the spear that the
Centurion shoved on the right side of Jesus. The spear probably
damaged his liver, collapsed his right lung, and made him loose too
much blood. Unable to revive him, they decided to removed the body,
in order to bury it in a secret grave, so that they could claimed
that he was resuscitated, but went to heaven.
2. Since the Romans were the ones guarding Jesus' tomb, it would
have been easy for some Roman officials or soldiers, to enter the
tomb and steel his body. I believe that some members of a secret
Roman cult, stole the body. That secret cult, believed that eating
some of Jesus flesh and drinking some of his blood was beneficial to
them and they would be rewarded by their God (or Gods). Although
that type of worship would favor the Ungod (the opposite polarity of
God).
What a coincidence that one of the Catholic Religion rites, is the
eating of a piece of bread that they believe is the body of Christ,
and the priest drinks a wine that they believe is the blood of
Christ.
Perhaps when the Catholic Religion was created, during emperor
Constantine's rule, members of the secret cult advised them to
incorporate such rite into the new Cristian religion that they were
creating. A religion that would give them more control of peoples
behavior. And through their invention of confessing to priests, they
could spy on the behavior of their people.
When Geordano Bruno (Dominican friar) said that the communion bread
might represent the body of Christ, but it was really just bread,
and the wine was really just wine. He was tortured and burned alive.
