But Jesus, they claim, had been dead already for some two hours past. Kurt Berna has proved\u00a0<span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em>that the heart was not pierced by the spear at all and that the flow of blood could only be due to the beating of the heart (however slow) of a person still alive<\/em><\/span>.\u201d (<em>Ibid<\/em>. p. 108).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">M.A. Faruqui notes further that while the writers of the original Gospels did not use the word \u201cdeath\u201d for Jesus but used words \u201cwhich could be translated to mean Jesus\u00a0<em>gave up his ghost<\/em>\u00a0to the keeping of God,\u201d later translators \u201ctranslated the passage to mean that he died or expired while still on the Cross.

But since in the case of Jesus, fresh blood still flowed after he was taken down from the Cross, hence he could not have been dead. It may also be borne in mind that, in the time of Jesus, nobody knew about the nature and essentials of blood circulation in the body. To them, when breathing stopped, a person was taken to be dead.\u201d (p. 109).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cSt. Paul had thought of and adopted the doctrine of Jesus Christ having died on the Cross and being resurrected afterwards, and this became the confirmed doctrine of the Christian Church. But the investigations made about the imprints of Christ\u2019s body on the Shroud put the Church in difficulties.

Apart from the similarity of the details, the very occurrence of the crucifixion in the way narrated in the Bible seems now to be fictitious. The Qur\u2019an denies the event in the clearest terms. It would, indeed, seem to lack independent evidence. We owe all our knowledge of Jesus to the Bible, before the revelation of the Holy Qur\u2019an; there are, however, two other pieces of evidence: first, a reference to the crucifixion in the history of Josephus, a contemporary of Jesus; and secondly, a letter alleged to have been written by Pilate to the Roman Emperor, speaking of the crucifixion. This letter exists in the archives of the Vatican, but both these testimonies seem to be inadmissible. The original MS. of Josephus does not contain the page referring to Jesus, which is admitted to be a subsequent insertion; the letter of Pilate, with the signature on it as well, is now considered a pious fraud.\u00a0Thus we are left no other course than to rely on the Bible and the Holy Qur\u2019an. The last Book of God totally denies the event, and the Bible story is only a remoulding of the Babylonian legend, which is decidedly a myth of the Sun-worship.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cThe sign of the Cross also is not of Christian origin. It does not date from the crucifixion. Clement, in his list of Christian symbols, does not make mention of it. Constantine saw the Cross in his vision, as he says, and took it as a symbol of the faith. But what he saw in the vision he must have seen also in a normal condition with his waking eye, for the Cross was the sign of life in the Pagan symbolism I saw an ancient Egyptian cross in July when I visited Alexandria, in the Municipal Museum in the town. Curiously enough, the cross in Christendom signifies the same as did the Egyptian cross \u2013the sign of new life brought by the crucifixion. In Ireland a similar cross has been discovered, with a crucified effigy, but it is the effigy of a Persian prince and not that of the Nazarene, as the head of the crucified bears a Parthian coronet, and not the crown of thorns; which identifies it with the Mithraic cult, originally from Persia.

These\u00a0<em>helpers<\/em>\u00a0could not be the \u201cso-called disciples of Jesus who were always \u201cwondering\u201d and \u201cdoubting\u201d and were running away from Jesus whenever he was in adversity. The word\u00a0<em>hawariyyoon\u00a0<\/em>is a plural of\u00a0<em>hawari,<\/em>which is from the root\u00a0<em>hoor<\/em>\u00a0(meaning:\u00a0<em>simple whiteness<\/em>). The word\u00a0<em>hawari<\/em>, therefore, means \u201cone who whitens his clothes or garments by washing and beating them\u201d Lane opines that for this reason the word\u00a0<em>hawariyyoon<\/em>\u00a0is applied to the companions (not the disciples) of Jesus. The Holy Qur\u2019an is very exact in its terminology and it described the\u00a0<em>helpers<\/em>\u00a0of Jesus by their distinctive dress\u2013white garments).\u201d (K.

The fact was discovered by the first translator of the Bible into English and they made a marginal note in their version of the Bible which continued for some time.\u00a0But we do not find the said note in any of the copies now published by the said society(Foreign Mission Society).\u00a0Is it fair and honest to keep others in darkness as to the true value of the contents of the Bible?\u00a0The reader must know that the concluding portion of St. Mark and the verse in St. Matthew are spurious and a subsequent addition. But I am afraid\u00a0the Foreign Mission would not allow the correction. It would tell against their very Mission, if they eliminate the verse from St. Matthew; they lose the only pillar that supports the structure of the Trinity.\u00a0No other verse in the whole Scripture speaks of it. The said eleven verses of St. Mark are the only justification for the existence of the Foreign Mission. You, as well as I, know, my Lord, that the call to Jesus came solely and wholly from Judaism. He came only to gather the scattered sheep and would not give the children\u2019s bread to the dogs, the world beyond the Israelites.\u00a0The Foreign Mission is a mere trespass on lands forbidden by the Master. It transcends the limit marked by Jesus.\u00a0Throughout his life the Gentiles and others did not concern him: they were the swine.\u00a0Then came the make-believe Resurrection,\u00a0and they say the Master changed his mind as to his mission and ordered it to be carried to the four corners of the world\u00a0<span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em>(indicating that he was unsure of his mission)<\/em><\/span>,\u00a0but this all depends upon the questionable verses of St. Mark, and hence their retention in the Bible.\u00a0St. Matthew is no authority on this point. The word \u201cnations\u201d there is a mistranslation and a wrong substitute for \u201cthe tribes\u201d\u2013the rest of the Jewish tribes scattered all over the world. This being the case, the Mission cannot afford to eliminate the verses from their version, nor will they put marginal notes, as did the old versions, to show the true nature of the verses. It would weaken the cause and show the futility of their status, since in carrying on evangelical work in the non-Christian world they are acting against the express admonition of the Master. It may that reasons other than religion are at the back of it all, and goading their activities, but decency, if not religion, assuredly demands the publishing of things as they are.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #800080; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">(Such is Christian\u2019s deception and desperation to have the world eat the body and drink the mythical blood of Jesus\u00a0Christ and eat his body <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u2013SPIRITUAL CANNIBALISM.\u00a0<\/span>This must be the lowest depth of spiritual depravity).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Even if Jesus had said to teach the Gospels to all nations, yet this would not make Jesus\u00a0God\/Trinity or vicarious atoner.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Whereas Jesus was only a messenger of God sent to the Israelite to call them to \u201crepentance\u201d and \u201cforgiveness\u201d, Christians consigned Jesus to the bed of celibacy, crowned him with Divinity and made him scapegoat for non-existent inherited sin; and ruler of future world (see <a href=\"https:\/\/nogodbutallah.org\/?page_id=294\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Jesus-1000-year rule<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">)<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0NOTES<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><em>Muhammad in the Bible<\/em>, pp. 191-192.
