This is one of the earliest traditions of non-orthodox Xianity,
passed on for millennia in the oral tradition, and substantiated
by the Nag Hammadi scrolls. I'm reading about it in HOLY BLOOD,
HOLY GRAIL by Baigent & Leigh & Lincoln [Dell, 1983]. On page
381 of the Dell paperback they write:
In one undated codex, for example, the Second Treatise of the
Great Seth, Jesus is depicted precisely as he is in the heresy
of Basilides -- escaping his death on the cross by dint of an
ingenious substitution... Jesus speaks in the first person:
"I did not succumb to them as they had planned... and I did not
die in reality but in appearance, lest I be put to shame by
them... it was another, Simon, who bore the cross on his
shoulder. It was another upon whom they placed the crown of
thorns... And I was laughing at their ignorance." (22)
With convincing consistency certain other works in the Nag Hammadi
collection bear witness to a bitter and ongoing feud between Peter
and the Magdalen -- a feud [reflecting] a schism between the
"adherants of the message" and the adherants of the bloodline.
HOLY BLOOD is a fascinating book, laying the groundwork for many of
the conspiracies that are currently under discussion. And it points
out just what a sham Xianity is. Read and learn.
