To make the assumption that he somehow survived the cross is to call Jesus a liar has He himself prophesized that he would die and rise again.

Hi
I think, please don’t mind, it is a wild accusation not suitable for a Catholic to speak about Jesus an innocent man Messenger; a Muslim cannot even think of saying such words even in supposition. One can find other ways to express one’s thoughts with a little practice. Well, that is your own internal matter; I won’t say more about it.
Coming to the topic, Jesus talked in parables; he was used to it, which is a way to understand and make understand things spiritually among all Messengers. People who don’t understand spiritual matters take them literally and physically and sometimes or most of the times are mislead. If they have developed the faculty of understanding things rationally they would understand things better with a little thought. No fault of the Master but of the pupil; if he does not understand.
Jesus said:
Matthew 10:
5 These twelve Jesus sent: commanding them, saying: Go ye not into the way of the Gentiles, and into the city of the Samaritans enter ye not.
6 But go ye rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Matthew 13:
57 ************ But Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house.
John 10
16 And other sheep I have, that are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd.
So clearly Jesus was disgusted with the two tribes of Israel in Judea, who did not listen to his message from GodAllahParmesherYHWH. He hinted he would go to the other Lost Tribes of Israel and spread the message in them and they would accept him a true Messenger of God. He knew that the period of tribulations would be over; and that is what he prayed for all along. He was confident of his survival.
By going personally to Persia, Afghanistan, North of Pakistan, Kashmir, Tibet and India Jesus proved what he meant the message in the above verses. One must listen to Jesus what he said and what he actually did. One should not pay any attention, in my opinion, to things mythical which got spread when he was absent from Judea on his journey to East. One who loves Jesus and Mary should focus on Acts of Jesus.
I love Jesus and Mary as I do love Buddha and Krishna
Thanks
