19. Is it not true that Governor Pontius was also not in favour of executing Jesus and had issued orders only under pressure of authorities? +

21. Is it not true that when Jesus was being taken to Calvary, the cross was taken from his shoulder and given to someone else in the crowd? (Simon the Cyrene)

22. Is it not true that before crucification Jesus complained to God - "Why have you forsaken me (left me alone)?" +

23. Hence is it not reasonable that either Jesus was never crucified or he was not son of God?
a. If he was son of God, why would he complain to God?
b. when Governor was against his execution, and his cross was given to someone else, why not admit someone else was executed? +
