APART FROM WALKING ON WATER AND
BRINGING THE DEAD BACK TO LIFE AND
TURNING WATER INTO WINE, FEW KNOW
JESUS WAS ALSO A SHAPE-SHIFTER!
Yes, He could appear as a different person
to different people!
Only His parents, the 12 Apostles and Mary
Magdalene could constantly see Him as He
really was.
Jesus's ability to change his face and body
shape meant the Roman soldiers could NEVER
capture Him as He could appear as someone
else.
This is the reason why Judas, the apostle who
betrayed Him came up with the idea to kiss
Jesus so the Romans would instantly know
which man was actually Jesus!
Truly, the kiss of Judas was the kiss of death!
By kissing Jesus and thus identifying Him to
the soldiers, Judas thus betrayed the man who
died so we can live forever!
So now you all know something 99.9% of
humanity do not know----Jesus Christ was a
shape-shifter!
Easter Science: 6 Facts About Jesus

- Jesus on the cross …
He may be the most famous man who ever lived,
but surprisingly little is known about his life.
Today, Sunday (March 31), more than 2 billion Christians will celebrate Jesus Christ's resurrection from the
dead. While there is no scientific way to know whether that supernatural
event at the heart of Christianity actually happened, historians have
established some facts about his life.
From his birth to his execution by the Romans, here are six facts about
the historical
Jesus.
1. His birth … in a manger?
Most historians believe Jesus
was a real man. To test the veracity of biblical claims, historians
typically compare Christian accounts of Jesus' life with historical ones
recorded by Romans and Jews, most notably the historians Flavius Josephus and Cornelius Tacitus.
And though a manger may or may not have figured prominently in the
birth, scholars do agree that Jesus was born between 2 B.C. and 7 B.C. as part of the
peasant class in a small village called Nazareth in Galilee. Historians
also back the claim that Joseph, Jesus' father, was a carpenter, meaning
Jesus would have gone into the family profession as well.
2. A mystical baptism
One of the pivotal moments in the New Testament is Jesus' baptism in the
wilderness by a radical mystic named John the Baptist. Most historians believe this event
actually occurred, and that Jesus experienced some sort of vision that led
him to begin preaching. In the New Testament, Mark 1:10 (The New American
Bible, Revised Edition) describes Jesus seeing "the heavens being torn
open and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon him." Jesus is then tempted by Satan in the
wilderness for 40 days, the passage continues.
The Jewish historian Josephus mentions the mystical activities of John
the Baptist, as well as his execution by King Herod. [History's 10 Most Overlooked Mysteries]
3. Reformer
After his vision, Jesus began to preach that the Earth could be changed
into a "Kingdom of God." Jesus' message of reform was deeply
rooted in the Jewish tradition, and he likely never viewed himself as
creating a new religion per se — just reforming the one he was born into,
scholars say.
4. A wise teacher
Josephus not only mentions Jesus, in one passage he also describes him
as a wise man and a teacher. (The passage is controversial because many
historians believe a Christian author later added in phrases such as
"He was the messiah" to the text, leading a few scholars to doubt
the authenticity of the passage as a whole). Most historians agree,
however, that Jesus was viewed as a teacher and healer in Galilee and
Judea.
5. Timing of Jesus' crucifixion
Several sources mention Jesus' crucifixion at the hands of Pontius
Pilate, the Roman prefect. Christian
Gospels say the skies darkened for hours after the crucifixion,
which historians viewed either as a miracle or a portent of dark times to
come. Using astronomy, later historians have used this mention to pinpoint
the death of Christ. Some tie the crucifixion to a one-minute 59-second total
solar eclipse that occurred in 29 C.E., whereas others say a second
total eclipse, blocking the sun for four minutes and six seconds, in 33
C.E. marked Jesus' death. (C.E. stands for Common Era or Christian Era, and
is an alternative name for anno Domini, or A.D.)
Death by crucifixion was one of the goriest ends the Romans meted out,
and it was typically reserved for slaves and those seen to be challenging
Roman authority.
6. Historical relics
The historical veracity of various physical relics, such as the
crucifixion nails and crown of thorns
Jesus wore on the cross, have decidedly less historical or
scientific backing. Most scientific studies suggest that these relics
originated long after Jesus died. But the most famous relic of Jesus, the shroud
of Turin, may be on more solid footing: Whereas some parts of the
shroud date to A.D. 1260, other analyses have suggested that the shroud is
about as old as Jesus.
Another more recent finding, a scrap of papyrus from the early Christian
era referring to Jesus' wife was unveiled last year, to much skepticism.
Since then, evidence has come out to suggest the so-called Gospel of Jesus' Wife is a forgery, though the jury may
still be out on that relic.
