Who Was Jesus Christ? by Charles Bradlaugh (1860)

The essay by Bradlaugh highlighted elements of skepticism and questions about the history and nature of Jesus Christ. It explores discrepancies and contradictions in the Gospels, raising doubt about the divinity and miraculous events attributed to JesusJesus Ἰησοῦ Χριστῷ: Doubts and controversies are always with him. Whether he existed at all or not? Whether Paul was correct or Muhammad about Jesus? If Paul was a student of Gamaliel then why he had heard nothing about Jesus from him? Why Aramaic culture of Jesus was not preserved? Why there were no dates in apostolic letters? But writing Date in letters was a standard practice then. What was the original language of the epistles? Possibly Constantine would have known these. He died due to asphyxiation.. The tone is critical and thoughtThinking Human beings began conscious thought as far back as sixty million years ago. By around three hundred thousand years ago, humans inhabiting the Indian subcontinent had developed forms of cognition comparable to those of the modern age, including awareness of competition, defense, and collective security. These early communities were capable of abstract observation, such as counting stars in the night sky, and engaged in reflective discussion about everyday experiences, including the flavors and qualities of food, indicating a sophisticated mental and social life.-provoking, which may resonate with a specific audience interested in historicalHistorical Old or ancient facts, which could be verified, are recorded after following a system.

Who Was Jesus ChristChrist Not before 250 CE, Jesus was attached to this Title (Gospel of Thomas). Lamentations 4:20 > The breath of our nostrils, the Christ (Mašíaḥ) of Yahweh, was captured in their pits, of whom we had said, “Under his shadow, we shall live among the nations.” Greek Septuagint (OT), χριστός derived from χρίω (anointed one). Jews never accepted Jesus as the Messiah. His violent death was interpreted as a curse by Yahweh. For Hindus, Christian claims are absurd. Performing Dharma leads to Liberation. For Muslims, Jesus never died on the Cross. He who confesses that Jesus is Christ is Christian. Confessing Muhammad is the Last Prophet earned the name of Mohammedan. .?

Essay on Jesus

Many persons will consider the question one to which the Gospels give a sufficient answer and that no further inquiry is necessary. But while the general ChristianChristian A person who believes that Jesus died to remission his/her sin/debt. The People of Antioch were called for the first time as 'Christians', in or around 300 CE. body affirms that Jesus was GodGod People in most cultures believe in the existence of supernatural beings and other supernatural concepts. God is attributed to both anthropomorphic properties (“listens to prayers”) and non-anthropomorphic properties (“knows everything”). Conceptualizing God is associated with willingness to get the COVID-19 vaccine or Vaccine hesitancy. Pope requested people not to practice “Jesus is my vaccine”. For the Jewish, family (Avestan universal) god became national God: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob,”(ex 3:15). See Ishwar. incarnate on earthEarth Sixty million years ago, the Earth may not have been radically different from the world known today. Vast soils supported dense vegetation, including banyan-like trees across the Indian subcontinent, with flourishing plant life extending through what is now Central Asia. Rivers resembling the modern Amazon may already have sustained abundant fish populations, while reptiles, snakes, turtles, and primates moved freely across diverse ecosystems. Human beings—both intelligent and unintelligent—were present, navigating cycles of stability and catastrophe. Localized cataclysms may have occurred without globally erasing life. Monkeys, snakes, and other familiar animals are assumed to have coexisted with humans, reinforcing the claim that biological continuity, rather than linear evolution, defines Earth’s history. From this perspective, fossil interpretation is seen as fragmentary and imaginative, shaped by academic models rather than complete evidence, with scholars constructing theoretical problems and resolving them through evolving intellectual frameworks rather than absolute historical certainty., the Unitarian Christians, less in numerical strength but numbering a large proportion of the more intelligent and humane, absolutely deny his divinity; the Jews, of whom he is alleged to have been one, do not believe in him at all; and the enormous majority of the inhabitants of the earth have never accepted the Gospels.

Even in the earliest ages of the Christian ChurchChurch "Εκκλησία του Δήμου">assembly of people in Greece. Creedal political organizations of Christian People (Ecclesia) were created in Rome around 350 CE with a reading manual (NT !) under a local leader (Bishop) within Roman provinces. A church building is also called a 'church'. The church is the body of Christ and this Doctrine of the catholic church was added around 400 CE. Christian groups are divided into Roman Catholics, Orthodox, and countless (45,000+) reformed denominations. A church is maintained by donations and taxation from its members. heretics were found, amongst Christians themselves, who denied that Jesus had ever existed in the flesh. Under these circumstances, the most pious should concede that it is well to prosecute the inquiry to the uttermost, that their faithFaith πίστει. may rest on sure foundations. The history of Jesus Christ is contained in four booksBook Council of Trent (1545–1563) the Catholic Church created a Congregation of the Index, to declare a writing dangerous and to burn it, till it exists without notice.

After Jesus, St. Peter and St. Paul are the most educated persons in the Christian world. or gospels; outside these it cannot be pretended that there is any reliable narrative of his life.

Why there are four Gospels instead of one, seems to validate the fixation by saying that four independent communities produced the same. Paul was Constantine's shadow, and Peter was his inner consciousness, who did not know Jesus during the trial period. Facts on Jesus were so few that the bookbinder had a problem 'call it a book' compared to Homar, or any Latin book available for reading in or around 325 CE. affords no clue to the real writer.

The Church has provided us with an author for each Gospel, and some early Fathers have argued that there ought to be four Gospels, because there are four seasons, four principal points to the compass, and four corners to the earth. Bolder speculators affirm twelve apostlesApostles Ἀποστόλων- Messenger. 12 male leaders appointed by Jesus in NT (στέλνοντας ανθρώπους σε απόσταση). In Jesus' scheme, Judas fulfilled Jesus' wish. Peter on the contrary denied Jesus`s identity! Apostles, were not Prophets, they were simply village idiots of Juda and Summaria, without the capacity of reading or writing. The capacity given directly by Jesus in the gospel to them can be compared with the capacity given to them in 'Acts' which were different. Idiots suddenly become Pandits. Most of the Indian Bishops do not know how to read Greek Bible. NT teachers in Indian Seminaris read only one or two passages from Greek! because there are twelve signs of the Zodiac.

We neither know the hour, nor day, nor month, nor year of Jesus’s birth; divines generally agree that he was not born on Christmas Day, and yet on that day the anniversary of his birth is observed. The Oxford Chronology places the matterMatter Normal matter is made of molecules, which are themselves made of atoms. Inside the atoms, electrons are spinning around the nucleus. The nucleus is made of protons and neutrons. Inside the protons and neutrons, exist indivisible quarks, like the electrons. All matter around us is made of elementary particles.

The strong force is carried by the “gluon”, electromagnetic force is carried by the “photon.” in no clearer light, and more than thirty learned authorities give a period of over seven years’ difference in their reckoning. The place of his birth is also uncertain. The Jews, in the presence of Jesus, reproached him that he ought to have been born at Bethlehem, and he never replied “I was born there “, (John vii. 41, 42, 52).

Jesus was the son of David, the son of Abraham (Matt. i.), from whom his descent is traced through Isaac — born of Sarai (whom the writer of the epistle to Galatians [iv. 24] says was a covenant and not a womanMen Ανθρωποι (People), a woman (γυναίκα), Man (Ανδρας) > Adama, Manu > No proof to establish that due to mutation a monkey turned into a human being.) — and ultimately through Joseph, who was not only not his father, but is not shown to have had any kind of relationship to him, and through whom therefore the genealogy should not be traced.

There are two genealogies in the Gospels which contradict each other, and these in part may be collated with the Old TestamentTorah Tanakh (Hebrew Bible/Jewish Bible) = Torah 1312 BCE (includes Talmud/Commentary), Prophets ( Nevi’im), and Writings/Ketuvim (Persian authorities ordered to compile it in around 450–350 BCE) Genesis (B’reishit) - Exodus (Sh’mot) - Leviticus (Vayikra) - Numbers (B’midbar) - Deuteronomy (Devarim) - Pentateuch (πεντάτευχος) > Septuagint (Greek translation 3rd century BCE, translation means Targum) genealogy, which differs from both. The genealogy of Matthew is self-contradictory, counts thirteen names as fourteen, and omits the names of three kings. Matthew says Abiud was the son of Zorobabel (i. 13). Luke says Zorobabel’s son was Rhesa (iii. 27). The Old Testament contradicts both, and gives Meshullam and Hananiah, and Shelomith, their sister (1 Chron. iii. 19), as the names of Zorobabel’s children.

The reputed father of Jesus, Joseph, had two fathers, one named Jacob, the other Heli. The divines suggest that Heli was the father of Mary, by reading the wordWord Λόγος “Mary” in Luke iii. 23, in lieu of “Joseph,” and the word “daughter” in lieu of “son,” thus correcting the evident blunder made by inspirationInspiration Inspiratio (L) > έμπνευση > (ilham إلهام). Verily, We have inspired you (Muhammad) as We inspired Nûh (Noah) and the Prophets after him; We (also) inspired Ibrâhim (Abraham), Ismâ'il (Ishmael), Ishâque (Isaac), Ya'qûb (Jacob), and AlAsbât [twelve sons of Ya'qûb ], 'Iesa (Jesus), Ayub (Job), Yûnus (Jonah), Hârûn (Aaron), and Sulaimân (Solomon), and to Dawûd (David) We gave him the Zabûr (Psalms). And Messengers We have not mentioned to you, - and to Mûsa (Moses) Allâh spoke directly (Quran 4.163- 164). The concept is not accepted in Sanatan Dharma. Vedas are not inspired nor revealed. They are the breathing of Brahman and were sensed/visualised by Rishis.. The birth of Jesus was miraculously announced to Mary and to Joseph by visits of an angel, but they so little regarded the miraculous annunciation that they marvelled soon after at much less wonderful things spoken by Simeon.

Jesus was the son of God, or God manifest in the flesh, and his birth was first discovered by some wise men or astrologers, a class described in the BibleBible Genesis Exodus Leviticus Numbers Deuter ♦ Joshua Judges Ruth 1 Samuel 2 Samuel 1 Kings 2 Kings 1 Chron. 2 Chron.

These men saw his star in the East, but it did not tell them much, for they were apparently obliged to ask information from Herod the King. Herod in turn inquired of the chief priests and scribes; and it is evident Jeremiah was right if he said, “The prophets prophesyProphet Προφητεύω (Prophesy) - He who tells in advance. A prophet may not be a Messenger of God. He may simply predict something may happen in the future. Hebrew prophets claimed to be able to see the future or interpret the present situation for future circumstances. Narada in Indian Puranas was the Messenger from Devatas. Whether the 'future' exists or not is the investigative subject of Physics. Elohim never created any future for Adam in Genesis (1.1). Islam claims Muhammad as the last Abrahamic prophet. falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means,” for these chief priests either misread the prophets or misquoted the Scripture, which is claimed to be a revelation from God, and invented a false prophecy (Matt. ii. 5, 6; cf. Micah v. 2) by omitting a few words from, and adding a few words to, a text until it suited their purpose.

The star — after the wise men knew where to go, and no longer required its aid — led and went before them, until it came and stood over where the young child was. This story will be better understood if the reader will walk out some clear night, notice a star, and then try to fix the one house it will be exactly over. The writer of the Third Gospel, silent on the star story, speaks of an angel who tells some shepherds of the miraculous; but this does not appear to have happened in the reign of Herod.

After the wise men had left Jesus an angel warned Joseph to flee with Jesus and Mary into Egypt, and Joseph did fly, and remained there with the young child and his mother until the death of Herod, and this it is alleged was done to fulfill a prophecy. The words (Hos. xi. 1) are not propheticProphet Προφητεύω (Prophesy) - He who tells in advance. A prophet may not be a Messenger of God. He may simply predict something may happen in the future. Hebrew prophets claimed to be able to see the future or interpret the present situation for future circumstances. Narada in Indian Puranas was the Messenger from Devatas. Whether the 'future' exists or not is the investigative subject of Physics. Elohim never created any future for Adam in Genesis (1.1). Islam claims Muhammad as the last Abrahamic prophet. and have no reference whatever to Jesus. The Jesus of the Third Gospel never went into Egypt at all in his childhood.

When Jesus began to be about thirty years of age he was baptized by John in the River Jordan. John, who knew him, according to the First Gospel, forbade him directly he saw him; but, according to the Fourth Gospel, he knew him not, and had, therefore, no occasion to forbid him. God is an “invisible spirit,” whom no man hath seen (John i. 18) or can see (Exod. xxxiii. 20); but the man John saw the spirit of God descending like a dove.

ImmediatelyForthwith In Rao Mahmood Ahmad Khan v. Ranbir Singh , has held that the word ‘forthwith’ is synonymous with the word immediately, which means with all reasonable quickness. When a statute requires something to be done ‘forthwith’ or ‘immediately’ or even ‘instantly’, it should probably be understood as allowing a reasonable time for doing it. The interpretation of the word ‘forthwith’ would depend upon the terrain in which it travels and would take its colour depending upon the prevailing circumstances which can be variable.

The term in 1 Samuel 29:4; 2 Samuel 19:22; 1 Kings 5:4; 1 Kings 11:14, 23, 25; Psalms 109:6 and Numbers 22:22 is for denoting an Angel of Jehovah. Septuagint translated it as diabolos. In Matthew, 16:23 Jesus identified St. Peter as Saitan (Iblis in Quran).. Jesus fasted forty days and forty nights, and in those days he did eat nothing. Moses twice fasted that period.

When hungry the Devil tempted Jesus by offering him stones, and asking him to make them bread. Stones offered to a hungry man for bread-making hardly afford a probable temptation. Which temptation came next is a matter of doubt.

Matthew and Luke relate the story in different order. According to one, the Devil next taketh Jesus to the pinnacle of the templeTemple Latin templum (Tem > "to cut", set apart) Greek temenos (ναός - innermost chamber), Old French temple "side of the forehead" > night temper > Template. Church building (εκκλησιαστικό κτίριο) is not a Temple (ναός) rather it is σαλόνι for a communal meal (devoid of ιερότητα και αφιέρωση), again the early Christian community had no intention to build anything like Ναός του Σολομώντα.

Jesus either disbelieved this Scripture or remembered that the Devil, like other pillars of the Church, grossly misquoted to suit his purpose, and the temptation failed. The Devil then took Jesus to an exceeding high mountain, from whence he showeth him all the kingdoms of the worldWorld Κόσμος and the glory thereof, in a moment of time.

It is urged that this did not include a view of the Antipodes, but only referred to the kingdoms then known; even then it must have been a long look from Judea to China.

The Devil offered Jesus — who it is declared was one with God and therefore omnipotent — all the kingdoms of the world if he, Jesus, the omnipotent God, would fall down and worship his own creature, the Devil. Some object that if God is the creator and omnipotent ruler of the world, then the Devil would have no control over the kingdoms of the world, and that the offer could be no temptation as it was made to Jesus, who was God omnipotent and all-wise. Such objectors rely on natural reason.

Jesus wanted to cast out the devils from the man; this they did not contest, but they expressed a decided objection to being cast out of the country. A compromise was agreed to, and at their own request the devils were transferred to a herd of swine. The swine ran into the sea and were drowned. There is no record of any compensation to the owner.

After Jesus, St. Peter and St. Paul are the most educated persons in the Christian world. of Euclid is prefixed an axiom “that the whole is greater than its part.” John Wesley was wise if it be true that he eschewed mathematics lest it should lead him to infidelity. If any man be irreligious enough to accept Euclid’s axiom he will be compelled to reject the miraculous feeding of 5,000 people with five loaves and two small fishes. The original difficulty of the miracle, though not increased, is made hard to the common mindMind We know nothing about its origin, growth, or demise. Where it lives, can it live without a brain? Possibly, the mind is the soul and spirit. See Consciousness by the assertion that after the multitude had been fed twelve baskets full of fragments remained.

Jesus is related to have walked on the sea when it was very stormy, and when “the sea arose by reason of a great windWind Ανεμος . वायुः पुं > Similar श्वसनः स्पर्शनः मातरिश्वा सदागतिः पृषदश्वः गन्धवहः गन्धवाहः अनिलः आशुगः समीरः मारुतः मरुत् जगत्प्राणः समीरणः नभस्वान् वातः पवनः पवमानः प्रभञ्जनः अजगत्प्राणः खश्वासः वाहः धूलिध्वजः फणिप्रियः वातिः नभःप्राणः भोगिकान्तः स्वकम्पनः अक्षतिः कम्पलक्ष्मा शसीनिः आवकः हरिः वासः सुखाशः मृगवाहनः सारः चञ्चलः विहगः प्रकम्पनः नभःस्वरः निश्वासकः स्तनूनः पृषतांपतिः । Vedic Deity.

The miracle of turning water into wine at Cana, in Galilee, is worthy of attention when considering the question, Who was Jesus Christ? Jesus and his disciples had been called to a marriage feast, and when there the company fell short of wine. The mother of Jesus, to whom the CatholicsCatholic Church Roman Catholic groups in communion with the Bishop of Rome. Pope is an absolute monarch. Mussolini allowed sovereignty to the Pope in 1929 over a tiny piece of Italian land. Vatican City is the central headquarters of Catholic Christians.

Jesus having obtained six water-pots full of water, turned them into wine.

Teetotallers who cannot believe God would specially provide means of drunkenness urge that this wine was not of intoxicating quality, though there is nothing in the text to justify their hypothesis. The curious connexion between the phrase “well drunk” and the time at which the miracle was performed would rather warrant the supposition that the guests were already in such a state as to render it difficult for them to critically appreciate the new vintage. The moralMorality Mental frame. It can be high morality or low morality, savage morality or civilised morality or Christian morality, or Nazi morality. Decent Behaviour is acceptable norms of the nations. Christian morality starts with the belief that all men are sinners and that repentance is the cause of divine mercy. Putting Crucified Christ in between is the destruction of Christian morality and logic. Now morality shifted to the personal choice of Jesus. What Jesus did is 'good'. The same would be the case of Ram, Krishna, Muhammad, Buddha, Lenin, etc. Pure Human Consciousness degraded to pure followership. There exists no proof the animals are devoid of morality. effects of this miracle are not easily appreciable.

Jesus being hungry went to a fig-tree to gather figs, though the season of figs was not yet come. Of course there were no figs upon the tree, and Jesus then caused the tree to wither away. This is specially interesting as a problem for a true orthodox trinitarianTrinity Matthew 28:19 - Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit... was added after 380 CE or later (Refer Eusebius 325 CE, and then Epiphanius 374 CE). The word "Trinity" does not occur in the Greek NT. All shadows of Trinitarian aspects were added after 350 CE. It is said that the Latin term was first used by Tertullian (155-200 CE). Prophet Muhammad vehemently opposed the Trinity doctrine. It obliquely suggests that Christian God has no name and Father god can not be identified with Elohim. Again this doctrine never explains another Christian doctrine of Incarnation. It is unclear, whether when one component (μέρος) of Trinity moves other components also move or not. who will believe, first, that Jesus was God, who made the tree, and prevented it from bearing figs; second, that God the all-wise, who is not subject to humanHuman Ο άνθρωπος (Humanum> Homo sapiens) मानव:. We have failed to consider the minimum need to be a 'human'. For Christians, human beings are sinful creatures, who need some saviour. For Evolution biology a man is still evolving, for what, we don´t know. For Buddhist Nagarjuna, the realisation of having a human body is a mere mental illusion. We are not ready to accept that a human is a computer made of meat. For a slave master, a human person is another animal, his sons and daughters are his personal property. passions, being hungry, went to the fig-tree, on which he knew there could be no figs, expecting to find some there; third, that God, the all-just, then punished the tree because it did not bear figs in opposition to God’s eternal ordination.

Jesus had a disciple named Peter, who, having much Christian faith, was a great coward, and denied his leader in his hour of need. Jesus, though previously aware that Peter would be a traitor, yet gave him the keys of the kingdom of Heaven, and told him that whatsoever he bound on earth should be bound in Heaven. Peter was to have denied Jesus three times before the cock should crow (Matt. xxvi. 34). The cock crowed before Peter’s second denial (Mark xiv. 68). Commentators urge that the words used do not refer to the crowing of any particular cock, but to a special hour of the morning called “cock-crow” But if the Gospel be true the explanation is false.

Peter’s denial becomes the more extraordinary when we remember that he had seen Moses, Jesus, and Ellas talkingSpeech 400 million years ago, the larynx was developed and allowed for communication with other animals. 60 million years ago, human beings talked about Dynosure or like animals in India. The vocal tract was in place to support modern human discourse as early as 300,000 years ago in the Indian subcontinent. together, and had heard a voice from a cloud say, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” As Peter could thus deny Jesus after having heard God vouch for his divinity, and Peter not only escapes punishment but gets the officeOffice Αξίωμα > Officer > Office-bearer (1593) > Opus, officium, ex officio (Latin). Box-office (Cash Box). of gate-keeper to Heaven, how much more should those who escape punishment and obtain reward who only deny because they cannot help it, and who have been left without any corroborative evidence of sight or hearing!

The Jesus of the First Gospel promised that, as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly, so he (Jesus) would be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Yet he was buried on Friday evening and was out of the grave before Saturday night was over. Some say that the Jews reckoned part of a day as a whole one.

The translators have made Jesus perform a curious equestrian feat on his entry into Jerusalem. The text (Matt. xxi. 7) says they “brought the ass and the colt and put on them their clothes and set him thereon.” This does not mean that he rode on both at one time; it only says so. On the Cross the Jesus of the Four Gospels, who was God, cried out ” My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” God cannot forsake himself, Jesus was God himself. Yet God forsook Jesus, and the latter cried out to know why he was forsaken. Any able divine will explain that of course he knew, and that he was not forsaken. The explanation renders it difficult to believe the dying cry, and the passage becomes one of the mysteries of the holy Christian religionReligion ‘The word ( θρησκεία) -Re Legion (Latin)- A group or Collection or a brigade, is a social-cultural construction and substantially doesn’t exist. Catholic religion (संघवाद) is different from the Protestant religion (संघवाद). Dharma is not Religion (धार्मिक संगठन). "Religion" occurs 5 times in 5 verses in the KJV.

At the crucifixionCrucifixion It was viewed as the worst and lowest punishment that could be bestowed upon a non-Roman citizen. The most common hypotheses on death by Crucifixion included pulmonary embolism, cardiac rupture, suspension trauma, asphyxiation, fatal stab wounds, and shock. Jewish Adonai, a virgin-born god, who “suffered for mankind” as a “crucified savior.” Prometheus, of Greece, was with chains nailed to the rocks on Mount Caucasus, “with arms extended,” as a savior; and the tragedy of the crucifixion was acted in Athens 500 years before the Christian era. [Murray, “Manual of Mythology” p. 82] of Jesus wonderful miracles took place. “The graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints which slept arose and came out of the grave after his resurrectionResurrection Egyptian Osiris is the embodiment of death and resurrection. In the New Testament, Jesus never spoke about it. After much hesitation, it was added around 400 CE in the NT texts (Rufinus) - God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power (1 Corinthians 6:14). If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you. (Romans 8:11). Matthew 27: 52-53: The tombs also were opened... many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many (after that where they went nobody knows it). and appeared unto many.” Which saints were these? They “appeared unto many,” but there is not the slightest evidence outside the Bible that anyone ever saw them. Their “bodies came out of the graves. Do not the bodies of the saints decompose like those of ordinary human beings?

Jesus must have much changed in the grave, for his disciples did not know him when he stood on the shore (John xxi. 4), and Mary, most attached to him, knew him not, but supposed that he was the gardener.

According to the First Gospel, Jesus appeared to two women after his resurrection, and afterwards met eleven of his disciples by appointment on a mountain in Galilee. When was this appointment made? The text on which divines rely is Matthew xxvi. 32; this makes no such appointment. According to the Second Gospel he appeared first to one woman, and when she told the disciples they did not believe it. Yet, on pain of indictment now and damnation hereafter, we are bound to unhesitatingly accept that which the disciples of Jesus rejected.

By the Second Gospel we learn that instead of the eleven going to Galilee after Jesus he came to them as they sat at meat. In the Third Gospel he first appeared to two of his disciples at Emmaus, and they did not know him until they had been a long time in his company — it was evening before they recognized him. Unfortunately, directly they knew him they did not see him, for as soon as they knew him he vanished out of their sight. He immediately afterwards appeared to the eleven at Jerusalem, and not at Galilee, as stated in the First Gospel. Jesus asked for some meat, and the disciples gave him a portion of a broiled fishFish God Icthus> in Greek (ἰχθύς). Matshya Avatar of Vishnu.

God is everywhere, and Heaven no more above than below, but it is necessary we should believe that Jesus has ascended into Heaven to sit on the right hand of God, who is infinite and has no right hand.

Was Jesus Christ a man? If limited for our answer to the mere Gospel Jesus — surely not. His whole career is, on any literal reading, simply a series of improbabilities or contradictions.
