HERE is Our Savior
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL" <— YaH’s Crucifixion
He - "Behold the Breath"
“Behold the HAND that Beholds The NAIL”
PROVES - YAH The Heavenly Father HIMSELF was Who they Crucified
That is EXACTLY what Moses Wrote
Here is what they mean
YaH's Name:
(Ya)d + (H)e, as YaH is what Moses called Him and YaH Declared: "this is My Name, this is My Name for all generations" (Exodus 3)
YaH is The Creator of “MAN”:
Yad He, (HAND BREATH), as YaH's "HAND" Formed man from the dust of the Earth and His "BREATH" made him a living being (Adam)
YaH's Sacrifice of Crucifixion for “MAN”:
Vav He (NAIL BREATH), the "NAIL" through YaH’s "HAND", in Sacrifice of Crucifixion, that whosoever shall call YaH Savior, His “BREATH” brings forth life (Salvation)
How YaH arrives:
YaH arrives via the Tent of Meeting (Exodus 33:7:11, Isaiah 54, 55), where a Tent is erected outside the city, a cloud descends upon the entrance of the Tent and YaH appears...
Why they demanded YaH to be Crucified:
YaH was Crucified according to Hebrew law (Deuteronomy 21), to be Hung on an Almond Tree for BLASPHEMY as it was for His NAME they demanded Him Crucified. The Messiah claimed He was YaH...
HE WAS YaH!!!

If CS Lewis had been alive in the 21st cent., with all the extra info and evidence we have via the internet, he'd have quickly realised that the Jesus story was complete BS invented by the Romans, as so many others are doing
Instead, he made this pompous quote
“You must make your choice: either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”
Clearly, CSL wasn't smart enough to consider Jeesus might have been a man-made fiction, like all the other gods man has invented. Neither brilliant nor enlightened

C S Lewis has given a lot to the world of literature of which I and milions of others are very thankful.
Though I have to say I'm suprised he didn't have
friends/acquaintances with better intellectual arguments against what seems like simplistic ideas.
Or maybe its just easier to get through the "clutter" now since so much more information about religion, philosophy, human psychology and brain biology has become avaliable. So that thinking has changed a bit for the worlds researchers/deep thinkers on these matters.
Ps
If you don't catch the simplistic ideas don't stress it then my comment is not for you.
If you just want to argue it's not for you either.

It is no fool who trusts he who knows everything: "For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things." - Truly Jesus was God in the flesh, come down in human form to share in our tribulations, and said of such to his disciples before going to the cross:
"I have spoken these things to you so that in me you might have peace; in the world you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world," - John 16:33
And we know "the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life has nothing to do with the Father," - 1 John 2:16, wherein we find the truth of Jesus Christ, tempted in all ways but was without sin, but took the penalty for the sins of all mankind and nailed them to the cross so that we might have presence with the Father.
Father God, this Easter week, let hearts rejoice in your only begotten Son's conquering of sin and death, enabling our presence with you.
For those lacking conviction, may their hearts be softened in order that they respond to the call of Salvation through their very own conscience - your Holy Spirit, deep within everyone prodding them to respond, though some prefer the darkness.
Help them see the hopelessness of self-reliance as opposed to the eternal promise and hope Jesus offers us: "I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but by me," - John 14:6

@Kilo bravo 66 I wish there was a way to answer both you and Harry Mills above at the same time, but this will suffice.
Of all the wisdom the Bible contains, there's no more suitable quotes than these for your thoughts (I say thoughts because I neither know you nor can judge you):
Isaiah 2:22: "Cease ye from man whose breath is in his nostrils, of what account is he."
It's been 2,000 years since the death of Christ and his disciples and here we are still debating them; but, who will know of Kilo bravo 66 and Harry Mills 2,000 years from now?
I happen to be an honors graduate of the Denial and Deception Advanced Studies Program at the National Intelligence University, class of 2008, and it was my job to wade through Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and how they collide with the Middle and Far Eastern and Western ideas of both our forms of democracy as well as Russia's and China's and their each unique forms of Communism.
Suffice it to say, I found no truer wisdom than Christ's: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."
Happy Easter, even though that must inspire hilarity in your view, I'm sure; but maybe one day you'll recognize what Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes to be true of vanity and man's deceitfulness, especially self-deception - the very worst kind, surrounded by pride...

I was born into a Wiccan family and converted into Christianity as an adult. I had a powerful encounter where I came face to face with Jesus. He is real and He is alive.
True Scotsman
@Open Eyes but historically we know that Jesus died a little over 2,000 years ago and then rose from the dead three days later and hasn't been seen since. I don't really care about anyone's feelings your feelings don't matter. People who say they came face to face with Jesus Christ are nuts no one's ever been able to prove they saw Jesus. Jesus has never been seen face to face by a credible witness. Accounts from the Bible are suspect because the only person in the Bible who was known to have had physical contact with Jesus was John the Baptist. There is no other person who wrote in the Bible not someone who was written about but someone who authored content for the Bible that made contact with Jesus other than John the baptist. People like to tell me oh you don't know what you're talking about you don't know the Bible you don't have faith I may not have faith but I know exactly what I'm talking about and I know the Bible very well I was a Christian all of my life until I was 52 I'm 58 now. I woke up in the middle of the night hysterically laughing and realized religion is the greatest manipulation that ever existed on the face of this Earth. it's been going on for over 2,000 years and every different religion says their religion is the only religion their God is the only god. So who's right? They can't all be right. Is there one God or are there many gods like the Romans say? What about Shiva what about Zeus what about four I mean you can give me shit all you want but you can't substantiate your claim nor can the person who came face to face with Jesus substantiate their claim. Get back to me when you have some tangible evidence until then have a nice day.
Open Eyes
@True Scotsman why is he nuts?he literally said he saw Jesus christ! You are "nuts" for calling people that whenever you have no faith or experiences. Your opinions aren't special

@Incognito Steeze afterlife? you will die like me. probably be cremated or embalmed. typically when a human being dies the municipality sends the coroner over and they collect the body and dispose of it in a civil and hygienic manner. you have quite a dark personality but that's actually what i would expect from a typical christian that's part of a death cult that believes in children's fairy tales. your cross is a torture device. what a wonderful club you must be so proud.
True Scotsman
@Incognito Steeze I'm not sure if you're observing the world around you and the way people behave and treat others but my spirit has been starved by the way others treat me. I also have to say that Christians in general specifically have treated me very badly I've been lied to and bullied all of my life by so-called Christian people. I don't believe in a sky ferry I don't see any reason to

I was born into no faith. I was not influenced by my parents, never went to church, wasn't christened. I came into Christianity into my adulthood. Jesus Christ is the way and is changing my life more and more each day. I love you Jesus. Thank you for dying for my sins and everyone else's

@The Count of Cape Greco You're just another internet shit talker with no understanding. I'm calling you out cristian. Prove something with facts or stfu.

@The Count of Cape Greco I was a christian for 52 years. I couldn't make it work because I require actual facts and knowledge rather than an old book with a bunch of unsubstatianted nonsense like resurrection and immaculate conception. I'm about as far from a hollywood leftist marxist idiot as you can get. you project. I'm an actual man. You wouldn't talk shit straigh to my face you'd get punched out for calling me a gender queer freak.
True Scotsman
@The Count of Cape Greco I know christinas appear to have their brains off and their faith in charge. Facts don't actually exist only fairy tales. Fairy tales are for young children you're supposed to grow out of those beliefs when you mature. apparently not for the average christian.
