The biggest cover up of human history...christ!

1) Jesus remained on the cross for few hours only (according to New Testament it was approximately 3 hours, from noon till three). The death by crucifixion takes time, as it’s a painful but slow death.
2) The two men crucified with Jesus were still alive when taken down from the cross.
3) The breaking of legs was done to the two criminals, but dispensed with in the case of Jesus.
4) The side of Jesus was pierced and blood rushed out which was a sign of life.
5) Even Pilate didn’t believe that Jesus actually died in so short time. Read here Mark 15:44, Pilate was surprised that he was already dead (because they knew very well that so quickly a person can not die on the cross).
6) Jesus was not buried like the two criminals, but was given into the charge of a wealthy disciple of his, who lavished care upon him and put him in a spacious room hewn in the side of the rock. Very much likely that Jesus was given Essenic healing to recover in those three days before he was again seen in the garden.
7) When the tomb was seen on the third day, the stone was found to have been removed from its mouth, which would not have been the case if there had been a supernatural resurrection.[/ex

This is most probably what happened (God knows the best), Jesus was made to carry the cross (John 19:17) and was beaten severely with a whip before prelude to crucifixion, known to the Romans as verberatio mentioned in Matt 27.26, Mark 15:15, John 19:1. As result he became weak from trauma and loss of blood. He didn’t sleep the night before as he prayed deeply to God (and few nights as well as he was moving constantly). And also due to the pain and trauma at the cross Jesus lost consciousness and went into a coma. The enemies of Jesus thought he died. He was taken down by one of the disciple. (This is exactly how the plan of God executed in His grace). But in actuality Jesus was taken care very carefully. Most Probably he was given healing by the Essenes. The Essenes called themselves Therapeutae, "healers," claiming that their austere lifestyle gave them the power to cast out demons of sickness and even to restore life of the dead. Considering this, Christ raising Lazarus from the dead seems a typical Essenic miracle. And similar method was applied to him to bring him back to consciousness.

4) The side of Jesus was pierced and blood rushed out which was a sign of life.

All your facts are off. I'll just take this one as an example. The Romans pierced his side to check for heart failure. Blood did not come out, but blood and water. This is a sure indication of heart failure.

"1) The heart would race to pump blood that was not there.

2) The victim would collapse or faint due to low blood pressure.

3) The kidneys would shut down to preserve body fluids.

4) The person would experience extreme thirst as the body desired to replenish lost fluids.

There is evidence from Scripture that Jesus experienced hypovolemic shock as a result of being flogged.

Prior to death, the sustained rapid heartbeat caused by hypovolemic shock also causes fluid to gather in the sack around the heart and around the lungs. " LINK

I will answer more in a bit. As none of this was known in Jesus day, it is highly unlikely that it was mentioned for a reason other than what actually happened. The rest of your conjecture is based on no substance other than what you "think" may have happened. The evidence is that a man lived and died unlike any man that has ever lived and died. The evidence is entirely in favor of YHWH coming in the form of a man to save mankind. YHWH is Yod Hey Vav Hey. This translates, Behold the Hand, Behold the Nail.

And then a MIRACLE happened that United people in a time when they needed to be, Jesus was deliberately kept alive but pronounced dead because the Romans knew that the people needed to be united in common belief

I would say the biggest cover-up in human history, is history itself. Christianity being a part of that cover-up.

I'm confused. Are you positing that Christ never died and that Scripture actually supports this view? And that interpreting Scripture to mean that Christ did die...is what, a matter poor exegesis? Please offer some of your own commentary regarding your topic.

We have a hard time covering things up today. Communication was nonexistent compared to today. There was no technology to track data. People were witnesses to the events. The Hebrews were the people responsible for relating the information. The authors spanned a hundred years or more. In the mean time, the Romans destroyed the Jews in their own land. The only cover-up here is that the Roman Empire still can't stamp out the truth. They have tried to take truth over, counterfeit it, burn it and corrupt it. Despite their best efforts, Israel became a nation in 1948 and history continues to march toward a set destiny that we can read twice. We can read it in print and we can witness it happening. The unimaginable proportions of this supposed "conspiracy" defies men's ability to comprehend. The least likely scenario is a cover-up by Jesus and the Romans acting in collusion. Consider this: YHWH | Or THIS

Or this -1948, the Hinge of History:
