Jesus did die but he rose again 3 days later.
I believe this to be true because the guys who witnessed his ressurection (the New Testement writers) changed there whole direction of life to do what they were commisioned to do, preach the gospel.
I find it hard to believe that these guys would live in poverty, be beaten, persecuted and in the end be killed for the Gospel if they didn't see Him back from the dead.
Plus its been recorded (in 1 Corinthians) that there were over 500 witnesses of Jesus back from the dead.

What I believe any way.

I dont believe in the whole ressurection theory, i just think Jesus was a well documented man, nothing more nothing less. People at the time would have been looking for something to believe in and guess what they got it.

Alchemists had the means to administer potions that could make someone appear to be dead (as in Romeo and Juliet when Juliet takes a potion and appears physically dead for three days, before waking). Jesus was offered a liquid on a sponge whilst on the cross...said to be bitter and taste like vinegar...perhaps it was a similar potion, so that although he appeared to be dead physically, he was able to "rise again" three days later and make good his escape? Just a thought!

very interesting!

got a couple of theories about this.

First, northern Iraq was said to be the site of the Garden of Eden, whereas now it is a barren wasteland. The rich supplies of oil there, created by thousands of years of dead, compressed trees, indicate it was once a very fertile, verdant place. What happened? Did humans have the ability back then, as we do now, to render it a wasteland?

Secondly, I was watching a film about Noah's Ark the other day, and it struck me how ridiculous and simplistic it was to be loading two different species of every kind of animal on there. Surely the lions would kill the gazelles, the cats would kill the mice, etc etc, etc...just unfeasible. No ark would be big enough...there are millions of species of animals, not to mention all the different types of food to feed them.

Could it be more likely that back in those times that humanity had the ability to store DNA....? The Voynich Manuscript documents many paradisal plant forms we are unfamiliar with today...it also hints (although quite primitively) at the storage of human life forms in jars of formaldahyde!! Perhaps the DNA of Paradise, and of Adam and Eve/Jesus and Mary...was stored...and protected..in order to preserve it, protect it, and bring it all back some time in the future?

Maybe Noah was an alchemist who had a premonition of the destruction of Paradise, which is why he gathered up this precious cargo...and transported it to a safe place. The "Ark" full of animals was just a symbolic story, or a clue, to the fact that he was in possession of the DNA of Paradise itself. Perhaps this is the real story of the Holy Grail.

There is an gnostic account that a man named Simon was put on the cross in Jesus' place.
Acording to the same account, Jesus died at the age of 90 at the siege of Masada.
