Deliver A Messiah Mistaken Identity, Liberation Day (Revised Edition) by Agron Belica brings forth an elaborate examination of who was put on the cross. Many theories suggest that the son of Mary (aka Jesus Christ) was not the person placed on the cross, but someone other than Jesus Christ himself. The author leads you along new pathways of insight, challenging conventional wisdom in this key moment of religious meaning.To contribute to the present work, the author investigated and researched to seek the truth about the assumptive facts leading up to what people of Christendom believe to be the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
The Bible and the Quran are the main resources used as references formally presented in use of persuasive arguments and theories of why the author strongly does not believe that the son of Mary was killed nor crucified. The author has made every effort to be as unbiased and objective as possible in presenting the facts and interpreting the events in this present work. The author is not trying to stir up controversy, but only wishes to lead people towards what might be considered the truth about the events surrounding the crucifixion. The author strongly believes that the prevailing powers during that era have camouflaged the truth. The cover-up of the crucifixion, with a falsehoods has lead the masses of people—past and present--to believe that the son of Mary was really crucified, by the leading elite, influenced by the Jewish religious hierarchy at that time. A love for the son of Mary is what led the author to write, Deliver A Messiah Mistaken Identity.
The author strives to present what he considers the truth, and grapples with a theory that will leave the reader in awe. His objective research of texts and interviews with experienced religious experts in comparative religion clears the way for a new theory about the crucifixion of the Messiah. In the author's search for explanations that are difficult to obtain, he traveled, studied, and researched to present what is before the reader. Furthermore, the unexpected results of the author's tireless research, puts forth an independent theory that will offer illumination to those who have tried for decades to solve the mysteries of the crucifixion. What is the downright truth? The pertinent question of dubious authenticity of the crucifixion lies in the following: If it was not the beloved son of Mary on the Cross-than who? This book is in itself a preface to larger work soon to come- an introduction to the topic. Who was put on the cross at Calvary those many years ago? Join Agron Belica in his attempt to Deliver a Messiah.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Agron Belica was born on 6 July 1974. His devoted caring parents are of Albanian descent. The author's extensive education is mainly that of independent religious study. The author spent several years conducting relevant research at home and abroad to put the pieces together about the false crucifixion of the son of Mary. Agron Belica currently lives in Massachusetts with his wife and children. The author sincerely hopes to deliver more thought provoking books in the category of religious genre.
"The amazing thing about the author, Agron Belica, is that his scholarship is not the result of any formal advanced education, religious or otherwise. Rather, the new perspectives and broadening of horizons which are the hallmark of this piece of scholarship resulted from Mr. Belica’s self-motivated, non-formal, but extremely intensive scholarship. It has been my honor and privilege to have met the author, Agron Belica. Mr. Belica has reflected an unparalleled inner commitment towards becoming a more spiritually-evolved and God-devoted person, and towards unraveling the truths and myths behind the Islamic, Judaic and Christian theologies. I watched Mr. Belica as he struggled with understanding, embracing, and then questioning what he had always believed to be the truths about his own faith and other faiths. This substantial piece of scholarship is the result of the years of devotion to which Mr. Belica has dedicated himself, towards understanding, questioning, and seeking new perspectives on the religious traditions and issues of our times."

Deliver A Messiah Mistaken Identity, Liberation Day By Agron Belica
Agron Belica is a first generation American of Albanian descent. He is devoted to a few things. One is his family, another is his religion, and yet a third is intellectual and spiritual religious inquiry. His book, Deliver A Messiah Mistaken Identity is a tribute to this devotion and inquiry. It is a brilliant and original look at the Gospels and the Quran, as well as the earlier Mosaic texts. In this book, the self-taught Belica, with no formal education, points out linguistic and spiritual parallels between generations of key characters in three religious histories. A devout and inquiring Muslim, using the close reading of the Quran as his guide, Belica, is able to look back at the central story of the crucifixion through a new lens, the Muslim lens, using key passages from a number of religious scriptures to build a fascinating new argument. His thoughts, insights and interpretations are remarkable, profound, and leaves the reader in awe.
Belica notices that a son is born to the prophet Zachariah at about the same time as a son is born to Mary. He systematically and spell-bindingly leads us through the parallels between these two prophets, the second of whom we have come to know as Jesus. Both are raised in secrecy, and bring prophesy and healing. Both are spared somehow the decree of Herod at birth, only to befall religious ostracism and apparent physical mutilation beheading/crucifixion at the time of apparent earthly death. Belica takes us through the similarities in these prophet’s lives, their coming into the lives of their parents, as the sons had done, in response to prayer, or in the unlikely moment, for Mary, of her chastity. The coming together of Zachariah and Mary is cemented with the former shielding Mary from harm as her foster-father. Belica brings us back further in scriptural history to draw other such parallels when it comes to prophets, and he draws upon the Arabic roots of the names of these figures, from Adam to Zachariah’s son, to convince the reader of his novel contribution to scriptural reading. But I’m not going to give that away! For that, you must read the book yourself!
This book is slim, but both erudite and yet easy to follow, in its step by step progression through the many scriptures, seemingly so familiar is Agron Belica with every passage, the apt ones come easily to mind for him, and strike an immediate cord in us, no matter how familiar or unfamiliar we are with the text and story. And yet, this book is no recipe for persuasion. It is much more sophisticated than that. Written in a devout and true Muslim spirit, it is also—as mentioned at the beginning of this review—an inquiry and a wholly new contribution to that body of sculptural scholarship. In Deliver a Messiah…., Agron Belica advances a theory which sheds an entirely novel light on the views that are commonplace today, and, through an examination of linguistics, passages, intent, and meaning, causes us to re-examine, in an exciting, clue-ridden way, what we have assumed to be true about the three major religions for centuries, concentrating on his own Muslim faith.

I thought I wrote you a note and told you I received it, but I can't open it, but it must not have gone through. I'm sorry, but I can't download it, although I tried all sorts of things to get it open.

That is the only email address I have. It's less complicated to keep up with that way. Thank you for sending your book to me, but I would be more than willing to buy it if I can get it through a book store. My hubby doesn't allow on-line buying because he's afraid of identity theft.
Thanks again,
Sandy
What I meant by savior is Jesus. He is considered to have come to earth to save us from our sins. I'm really curious about this subject that Jesus wasn't born of Mary. To me it seems like Catholic's almost worship her as much as God since they pray to her often.
Agron, I don't discuss this subject with many and this is a very open forum, but I'm just curious.
