Based on the earliest beliefs in Jesus, he was crucified in the firmament, not on earth. Makes sense for an apocalyptical sect of Jews (Essenes). John the Baptist ("Now John was clothed with camel’s hair and wore a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts and wild honey."), Peter, and James the Just were all likely Essenes.

Go check out those Dead Sea Scrolls and learn some things about the group that likely founded your faith before it got highjacked by Paul, who completely bastardized it.

While you're at it, learn about Marcion Sinope, the first to publish a New Testament.

A leather belt with an onion. It all makes sense now. Consider me a convert.
