Once he was taken down off the cross where did Jesus go.
He was not dead as blood does not run like water when your dead.

Is it possible that he went to a community near the Dead Sea near Qumran
or Massada.

It's all in the scriptures..right in the Bible!

"He ascended to the Father"

Read at the end of Matthews, Luke and John

LOL and Mark ^_~

* Please take time to read...

BY NOW it is late Friday afternoon, and the Sabbath of Nisan 15 will
begin at sundown. Jesus’ dead body hangs limp on the stake, but the two
robbers alongside him are still alive. Friday afternoon is called
Preparation because this is when people prepare meals and complete any
other pressing work that cannot wait until after the Sabbath.

The Sabbath soon to begin is not only a regular Sabbath (the seventh day
of the week) but also a double, or “great,” Sabbath. It is called this
because Nisan 15, which is the first day of the seven-day Festival of
Unfermented Cakes (and is always a Sabbath, no matter on what day of the
week it comes), falls on the same day as the regular Sabbath.

According to God’s Law, bodies are not to be left hanging on a stake
overnight. So the Jews ask Pilate that the death of those being executed
be hastened by breaking their legs. The soldiers, therefore, break the
legs of the two robbers. But since Jesus appears to be dead, his legs
are not broken. This fulfills the scripture: “Not a bone of his will be
crushed.”

However, to remove any doubt that Jesus is really dead, one of the
soldiers jabs a spear into his side. The spear pierces the region of his
heart, and immediately blood and water come out. The apostle John, who
is an eyewitness, reports that this fulfills another scripture: “They
will look to the One whom they pierced.”

Also present at the execution is Joseph from the city of Arimathea, a
reputable member of the Sanhedrin. He refused to vote in favor of the
high court’s unjust action against Jesus. Joseph is actually a disciple
of Jesus, although he has been afraid to identify himself as one. Now,
however, he exercises courage and goes to Pilate to ask for Jesus’ body.
Pilate summons the army officer in charge, and after the officer
confirms that Jesus is dead, Pilate has the corpse handed over.

Joseph takes the body and wraps it in clean fine linen in preparation
for burial. He is assisted by Nicodemus, another member of the
Sanhedrin. Nicodemus also has failed to confess his faith in Jesus
because of fear of losing his position. But now he brings a roll
containing about a hundred Roman pounds [33 kg] of myrrh and expensive
aloes. Jesus’ body is wrapped in bandages containing these spices, just
the way the Jews have the custom of preparing bodies for burial.

The body is then laid in Joseph’s new memorial tomb that is carved in
the rock in the garden nearby. Finally, a large stone is rolled in front
of the tomb. To accomplish the burial before the Sabbath, preparation of
the body is hasty. Therefore, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of
James the Less, who have perhaps been helping with the preparation,
hurry home to prepare more spices and perfumed oils. After the Sabbath,
they plan to treat Jesus’ body further in order to preserve it for a
longer period of time.

newg that is interesting does that answer where he went though?

I believe he ascended to heaven in 3 days, after some appearances in
different occassions.

BINGOOOOOOOOOOO That's exactly right

and you can find these answers at the end of Matthews, Mark, Luke and
John

I read once.

He was pierced near the ribs on the side. The roman soldier that
pierced him then thought he was dead however a wise man was present (one
from the east). That man knew that blood does not run like water when a
man is dead. He convinced the followers of Jesus and they asked for
permission to take the body down. They then wrapped it in linen and
took him to a burial cave where the wise man treated his wounds. They
tried to talk him into leaving the area but he wanted to talk to the
rest of the disciples so after 3 days of recovery he walked down to meet
them. There was a minor earthquake (the area is prone to those types of
quakes) which released gasses of phosphore into the air. Jesus walked
through the phosphore and took on a bright glow because of it. After
convincing his disciples he was indeed alive they decided that it would
be best if the Jews and Romans thought he was dead so they moved him to
an area near the dead sea. Where he lived out the rest of his life.

This is to me a much more plausable explaination. It has the ring of
truth and yet does not take away from the power of his message. He was
crucified for our sins. He still would have gone to the father.

It might mean that he did indeed write a gospel. Would that possibly
explain why the Vatican sent a member of the Dominican Order to the dead
sea in the late 40's early 50's to take charge of a portion of the dead
sea scrolls that had been found (I beleive it was in cave 4). The
portion over which the Vatican took control was the largest section of
scrolls found and was placed under 'Vatican Secrecy'. Perhaps they did
not want a possible scroll with the actual words of the Christ to reach
the eyes of the world. It would put a lie to the way they do business.
Some of those scrolls were dated at 2 AD.

Also at that time the Dominican Order was the responsible party in the
Churches Inquisition it was not relieved of that responsibility until
1965. The purpose of the Inquisition Congregation was to protect the
Church.

I am not putting this out there to anger or offend. It is a possible
different look at history.

after the 3rd day he arose(easter) talked with his desciples then
ascended to heaven to sit at his fathers side.

I think he showed up a few days eaily and hung with Mary Magdalene being
the hottie that she was and all.



He better hope God has a since of humor

So says the Church.

so says the bible

Which was put brought together and decided upon in council 325 years
after the fact.

Also there was a part in what I read that Mary Magdelene did in fact
either accompany him to the dead sea or met him there later.

Which places the possibility that he may have had children on the table.

The original Disciples had a reason to hide the fact of his survival
from the Romans.

Why would the Church have decided to keep that fact hidden? What would
their motives have been 325 yeas later?

One other thing. In this account he was supposed to have lived to
somewhere in his 80's.

After hanging around for so long with people he didnt know, he went home
to dad

Yep so you see he did ascend to the father. Just not as quickly as
thought.

well, dad, being a single parent and head of household, needed the kid's
bedroom cleaning ... jeez, kids these days!! No respect.

I won't argue the New Testament with you Adventure.. it is what i
believe in, live my life by and have absolute faith in. The church did
not write the new testament despite what you may believe, his desciples
wrote it.


read revelations if you believe there is no truth to the bible.

I did.

What it says is that the Niciaen Council and all who were present and
the churches formed through them will find their names blotted out of
the book of God in the final days for there is no doubt that they added
to and took away from the book of God.

That does not diminish the message just the churches that were present
at the time for it was their choice.

And I have absolute faith that one day what is missing from it will find
the light of day. Gods word allways finds the light.

rumour has it he split with Mary Magdalene and took off by boat for the
south of France...and yes he has a bloodline..children...


but it is just a rumour...lol..............so far


mornin AB!
