As Glenys said there are those who have varying beliefs about Jesus escaping death on the cross. The famous book, The Passover Plot put forth the theory that Jesus faked his death. He was not really resurrected, but with the cooperation of his disciples faked the death and resurrection. Another twist on this is that there was no plot but Jesus was just lucky enough to survive the ordeal and was revived.

Still another concept was presented by Seth that the real Jesus sent a disciple to be crucified for him. Since everyone thought Jesus was dead, they thought they crucified him. When the real Jesus showed up everyone thought he was resurrected.

None of these tells it correctly. The real Jesus was crucified and after the event, by all human standards, he was dead and seemed to be dead for three days.

There is a final event that must take place before a person is technically dead. What is it? A hint is given in Ecclesiastes 12:6-7.
