Jesus: the cruciFICTION

Pilate through treacherous waters

Jesus' side pierced by a spear to verify his death, fulfilling a prophesy that says "not one of his bones shall be broken"
- John 19:36,37

Jewish priests ask for leg-breaking as verification that jesus had died, which results in Pilate instructing it be done

Split personality?

God forsakes jesus
- Mark 15:34
(yes, the words indicate that jesus accused god of forsaking him, but since he is omniscient, he must be correct in his thinking that this is what actually happened)

Jesus is inseparable from god

Paradise that day?

Jesus tells the believing robber he will be with him in paradise that day
- Luke 23:43

Jesus was in the grave following his death and did not ascend to heaven for at least one more day, though it will be claimed that he doesn't ascend for three days.

Robber conversion?

Both robbers revile jesus
- Matt 27:44

Only one robber reviles jesus and the other believes
- Luke 23:41-43

"I'll bear your burden, brother..."

- Matt 27:32

Jesus carries his own cross, thank you very much
- John 19:17,18

Quick and speedy trial

Jesus' trial before the Sanhedrin was at night and in morning he was taken to Pilate
- Matt 26:57-68, 27:1-2

Peter's in denial

Peter is warned he will deny jesus after the last supper and after having left the upper room
- Matt 26:20-34, Mark 14:17-30
