That's exactly the issue- is there a difference?

Some other interesting points:

The crowd cried for "Barabbas" to be released. Barabbas of course means "Son of God the Father". Someone was released.

A Muslim tradition has it that somehow Jesus was actually standing next to the cross, laughing at his captors, as a simulacrum was somehow crucifed. At any rate that tradition says He escaped crucifixtion.

This ties in to the Gnostic tradition of a twin being crucifed in his place. Thomas was the disciple "most like Him" ie- a twin.

WTF?
