The Lie on The Cross

By Douglas Yates

The Lie on The Cross is a story about how a single event becomes a story, how a story becomes a claim, and how a claim becomes the foundation of a faith that no longer resembles the moment it came from. It follows the people who were present at the beginning - the ones who saw what happened, the ones who understood what it meant, and the ones who watched as others reshaped it to serve fear, survival, and power.

The book traces the gap between the event on the hill and the version the world chose to believe. It examines how memory is pressured, how testimony is negotiated, and how truth is displaced by what a community needs in order to endure. At its center is a witness who understands that once a story leaves the hands of those who lived it, it becomes something else entirely.

This is not a tale of miracles or divine intervention. It is a human account of how meaning is constructed, contested, and weaponized - and how a lie, once accepted, can stand longer than the wood it was carved upon.
