Jesus and the 12 Apostles are out to eat

Jesus gets the bill

“Why…”

Jesus rubs the bridge of his nose

“Why on Dad’s green earth would somebody order wine?!?”

      According to this scholar: https://nzpod.co.nz/podcast/the-ancients/jesus-of-nazareth

      It is unlikely that his body was ever placed into a tomb. Part of the point of crucifixion was the public nature of the body being on display and those crucified were not given honorable burials by design.

      The academic consensus seems to be that an influential Jewish man referred to as “Cristos” or “Crestos” did exist but that the resurrection and other mystical stuff was of course all embellishment.

      ‘Crestos’ was a apparently a common name for slaves in Judea. I wondered if perhaps the name Christ referred to a man who rose from the slavery caste to threaten the political establishment with revolution. Most of the new testament teachings are obviously political. ‘Life of Brian’ is probably closer to the truth than you’d think.
