Doesn't answer one simple question, "Was Jesus Christ, forsaken, or
finished?"

You have to make up your own mind - Do you believe the traditional
story about Jesus?
What do you believe Jesus taught?

Things to ask yourself...

Do you believe he taught about reincarnation? Reincarnation is
mentioned in the Bible...

Do you believe in the resurrection? Did it happen?

If it didn't - what did happen?
Some people have said, that Jesus did not die on the cross, but
had a near death experience and was resucitated from near death.
This is put forward in the British documentary
"Did Jesus Die?"

There is an alternate story about Jesus
which says in essence that Christianity does not present
the true story.
