text: wat is view on this? on a programme last night some historians were saying that jesus did not die on the cross but passed out and was taken down before death and placed in the tomb then mary magdalene went in and helped him to recover they were saying that medical evidence available to us now has proven this could have been the truth behind the resurection, wat do you think????  ( this was on bbc four) people have been saying that jesus didn't really die on the cross since not long after he was crucified.  did he die on a cross?  i don't know.  i figure that's where faith comes in.
