This book is about killing the Christ myth of the trial, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension and resurrecting the historical Jesus in the process. It is based on an integration of information from the New Testament, the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Judas, and Mark's Secret Gospel of Alexandria, as well as information from the second century Greek philosopher Celsus. You cannot get at he historical Jesus if you are a Christian and still believe in the four myths of Christianity of the Trial, the Crucifixion, the Resurrection, and the Ascension. They are incompatible with the historical Jesus. These four myths were created mainly by Paul, Apollos, and Mark from A.D. 30, first, when Paul was converted on his way to Damascus; to A.D. 57 when Paul met with Apollos and Mark in Corinth to create the Christ myth; and finally to A.D. 63 when Mark wrote his gospel in Rome under Paul's supervision. These myths were created to cover up how Jesus really died that night in the Gethsemane Garden when he was caught in a ritual sex act with Stephen, the rich Bethany youth whom Jesus met and fell in love with (and vice versa) nine days earlier in Bethany (as told by Mark in his Secret Gospel of Alexandria). Acts 10:39 commemorates this manner of the death of Jesus by quoting Peter, who said: "And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they slew and hanged on a tree." This hanging of Jesus on a tree by the Jews (and not on a cross by the Romans) is repeated four other times in Acts, Galatians, and One Peter. Unless you get rid of these four cover-up myths of Christianity and adopt the true manner and time of the death of Jesus in the Gethsemane Garden that night, you cannot see through the lies, myths, cover-ups, and crimes of early Christianity that hid the true story of the historical Jesus underneath those lies, myths, cover-ups, and crimes. Once you reject the four cover-up myths of Christianity, however, you can begin to see and appreciate who the historical Jesus really was and what he and his sayings were all about. This book leads the way to finally seeing the historical man buried beneath those lies, myths, cover-ups, and crimes of Christianity for over two-thousand years! Some of the story of the historical Jesus is ugly (that's why a cover up was needed), but all of it is true. The entire complexion of the New Testament changes once you know how, when, where, and why Jesus was killed by the Jews and hanged on a tree for one day (see Deuteronomy 21:22-23 for this manner of Jewish punishment for a capital crime in Jesus' time). This book traces the entire story of Jesus, Stephen, and Judas that played out during the last nine days of Jesus' life till he was executed by the Jews and hanged on a tree, till Stephen was also executed by the Jews and hanged on a tree, and Judas committed suicide. The book follows the Gospel of Thomas as the author of well over half of the sayings of Jesus in the New Testament, gives the truth of his birth, and shows incontrovertibly that he was educated in India in his twenties and was a child of Hinduism and not of the Hebrew Scriptures. Also that he didn't have twelve disciples, that he had a male sex cult for specially chosen followers, and that he was first and foremost a lover of mankind and of the earth and was a supreme conservationist who gave us an ultimatum to change or die--and why I wrote this book to get this important message of his out to the already dying earth and mankind he foresaw so clearly and tried to warn us about. Paul interrupted this message; I have revived it. If you don't believe that what I tell you in this book on Killing Christ is true, hack the Vatican archives and you will find the same truth the Christians have known since Bishop Clement revealed it in his letter to the Monk Theodore in the second century. The master church cover-up goes a long way back and continues to this
About the Author: I was born in Bartlesville, Oklahoma on August 22, 1935 and have Mexican, Cherokee, and English blood in me. I have an English degree from Texas University in 1962 and a law degree from Southwestern in Los Angeles in 1985. I am a poet, essayist, short story writer, and also published my autobiography through Amazon in 2012 titled CONFESSIONS OF A SEEKING SOUL. I am a notorious criminal from Iowa after I burned down the ten-million dollar All Saints Catholic Church in Stuart, Iowa on August 22, 1995, my 60th birthday--as a gay protest. I am homosexual myself but married and had a family. I learned to analyze cases in law school which enabled me to analyze the New Testament from 1970 till today and write this book on killing the Christ myth. Having led a double life for so long myself also enabled me to see how Jesus led his double life as a closet homosexual also--which eventually resulted in his death. I am an apostatized Christian and founder of the Historical Jesus Foundation which owns the Killing Christ book. I have created a web site for Killing Christ called www.thehistoricaljesusfoundation.com. I survived in the business world as a travelling claims executive settling disability claims all over the United States for twenty years for multiple insurance companies. I spent thirteen years in Iowa prisons where for six months in solitary confinement in 2001 at Ft. Madison Prison, I wrote this book on Killing Christ and my autobiography. I lived my childhood with my grandparents in Woodford, Oklahoma; spent three years in Germany from 1945 to 1949 with my stepfather, Rae Willard, and then went to high school in San Antonio, Texas. I worked in insurance claims for ten years in Dallas, Texas; moved to Los Angeles in 1972 where I met my wife and raised a family, and then moved to Des Moines, Iowa where my wife got a job at the Des Moines Art Center as Registrar. It was when she was dying of breast cancer in 1995 that my life fell apart and I burned down that church. My prison years were productive, however, and I have never regretted them. I had to separate myself from this society to understand what made it tick and separate fact from fiction to make my life more meaningful--and hopefully yours also if you will adopt an open mind and read my book written in the blood, sweat, and tears of objectivity. I didn't meet my father till 1962 and had father-figure lovers all my life that in the end helped me understand the gay side of Jesus much better.
