What’s on your mind?
Is it true that there actually are lies that have gone unchallenged for generations due to authoritarian conspiracy and ignorance of the oppressed?
There is one teaching over which I have not totally agreed upon since my school days. That point is the narrative that Jesus,at the last stage of his suffering on the cross disappointedly lost confidence in God and asked him why He forsook him to those heartless criminals and murderers.
Considering the history of Jesus,his knowledge of and relationship with God our heavenly father,it has always appeared to me that this report is a deliberate mix-up by the killers to ridicule Jesus and his followers.
At the time of the wicked act,it was the Roman soldiers that were at the foot of the cross to ensure no one came to save Jesus.If Jesus spoke then,it definitely must be in his Hebrew language which the Roman soldiers could never have easily recorded and interpreted.So I don’t think this report is true.
Furthermore,why is it that the socalled seven words of Jesus on the cross is not fully reported by any one of the 4 synoptic gospels?
It looks to me that considering the religio-political situations in which the events of Jesus took place,certain things are mixed up while others missed out or assumed by successive versioning,competitive interpretation and revising of the reports through the ages.
I know this analysis may cause some stir,but think over it for a while.Having faith is good,but if build ur faith on false report,does it change anything?
