jesus’ back

November 19, 2006

The following i believe to be illustrative of the defamation of jesus by the church:

For some time I have pondered a phrase that happens to appear twice in the new testament, in the gospel of matthew and in the gospel of mark. It is a phrase attributed to jesus that he is supposed to have said while dying on the cross, ‘Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?’ (which translates to, ‘my God, my God why hast thou forsaken me?’)

I came upon the phrase a few years back when reading a book by shusaku endo, and thus it remained in my conscious, ‘Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?’

And with those words, a caution grew when considering the historical jesus and the image that had been installed from my childhood, and who in reality he may have been.

Those very words, ‘Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani,‘ in the last minutes of his life suggest that he doubted his faith.

Of the four gospels in the new testament -the core of the christian religion- the two gospels that attribute ‘Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani‘ to jesus, the gospel of matthew and the gospel of mark, were neither written by matthew or by mark. Furthermore, it is not known who wrote those gospels, nor at which point in history they were written.
