This book The Case for Christ that EVERYONE was telling was just AWESOME
is totally what people said it was, just so awesome
it has so much research that it makes u wonder why people continue to believe in futile religions and beliefs (Christianity isnt a religion or a mere belief) The New Testament is the one historical writing thats 99.5% intact and completely accurate and factual. This book will make u poop in ur shirt with facts caz its so amazing, neways I wanted to focus on Jesus death and how painful it really was caz retarded critics with no credentials are tryin to prove that he never really died in the first place or that it was the swoon or faint affect. Here is part of an interview with Alexander Metherell, M.D., PH.D. I had to fast fwd a lot
lol
but believe me the reactions for the person telling it and listening were..owwefied! wat ur about to read is TOTALLY historically correct about wat really happen to Jesus and its PAINFUL! This is wat Jesus went through for us so our sins can we wiped CLEAN! I hope it helps you guys in ANY way... I know a lot of people are going through a lot. I know Jesus will carry you too...God Bless u all.
It began after the Last Supper, Jesus went with his disciples to the Mount of Olives specifically to the garden of Gethsemane. And there as you remember, he prayed all night I raised my hand to stop him. Whoa heres where skeptics have a field day. The gospels tell us he began to sweat blood at this point. Now cmon, isnt that a product of some overactive imagination? Metherell shook his head. Not at all, this is a known medical condition called hematidrosis. Its not very common, but it is associated with a high degree of psychological stress. What happens is that severe anxiety causes the release of chemicals that break down the capillaries in the sweat glands. As a result, theres a small amount of bleeding in these glands, and the sweat comes out tinged with blood. We are not talking about a lot of blood; its jus a very, small amount. What this did was set up the skin to be extremely fragile so that when Jesus was flogged by the Roman soldier the next day, his skin would be very, very sensitive. Tell me, I said, What was flogging like? Metherells eyes never left me. Roman floggings were known to be terribly brutal. They usually consisted of 39 lashes but frequently were lot more than that, depending on the mood of the soldier applying the blows. The soldier would use a whip of braided leather thongs with metal balls woven into them. When the whip would strike the flesh, these balls would cause deep bruises or contusions, which would break open with further blows. And the whip has pieces of sharp bone as well, which would cut the flesh severely. The back would be so shredded that the part of the spine was sometimes exposed by the deep, deep cuts. The whipping would have gone all the way from the shoulders down to the back, the buttocks, and the back of the legs. It was just terrible. One physician who has studied Roman beatings said, As the flogging continued, the lacerations would tear into the underlying skeletal muscles and produce quivering ribbons of bleeding flesh A third century history Eusebius described flogging as The sufferers veins were laid bare, and the very muscles, sinews, and bowels of the victim were open to exposure. We know that many people would die from this kind of beating even before they could be crucified. At the least, the victim would experience tremendous pain and go into hypovolemic shock. Hypo means low volume emic means blood so hypovolemic shock means the person is suffering the effects of losing a large amount of blood. There are 4 things. 1st the heart races to pump blood that isnt there, 2nd the blood pressure drops, causing fainting or collapse, 3rd the kidneys stop producing the urine to maintain what volume is left, 4th the person becomes very thirsty to replace the lost blood volume. Evidence for this for Jesus Jesus was in hypovolemic shock as he staggered up the road to the execution site at Calvary, carrying the horizontal beam of the cross. Finally Jesus collapsed, and the Roman soldier ordered Simon to carry the cross for him. Later we read that Jesus said, I thirst, at which point a sip of vinegar was offered to him. Because of the terrible effects of this beating, theres no question that Jesus was already in serious to critical condition even before the nails were driven though his hands and feet. What happened when he arrived at the site of the Crucifixion? He would have been laid down, and his hands would have been nailed in the outstretched position to the horizontal beam. Nailed with what? I asked, Nailed where? The Romans used spikes that were 5 to 7 inches long and tapered to a sharp point. They were driven through the wrists. Hold on I interrupted, I thought the nails pierced his palms. Through the wrists, this was the solid position that would lock the hand, if the nails had been driven though the palms, his weight would have caused the skin to tear and he would have fallen off the cross. So the nails went through the wrists. Its important to understand that the nail would go through the place where the median nerve runs. This is the largest nerve going out of the hand, and it wold be crushed by the nail that was bring pounded in. The pain was absolutely unbearable. In fact it was literally beyond words to describe, they had to invent a new word: excruciating. It literally means out of the cross There was nothing in the language that could describe the intense anguish caused during the crucifixion. At this point Jesus was hoisted as the crossbar was attached to the vertical stake, and then nails were driven through Jesus feet. Again the nerves in his feet would have been crushed and there would be a similar type pain. His arms would have immediately been stretched, probably about 6 inches in length, and both shoulders would have become dislocated you can determine this with simple mathematical equations. This fulfilled the Old Testiment prophecy in Psalm 22, which foretold the Crucifixion hundreds of years before it took place and says, My bones are out of joint. Once a person is hanging in the vertical position, crucifixion is essentially an agonizing slow death by asphyxiation. (Long painful part summery) They exhale and try to breath up and list their led up to ease the tension and the leg RIPS this keeps going until complete exhaustion and pain takes over and the person cant push up and breath anymore. He goes into a respitory acidosis the carbon dioxide in the blood is dissolved as carbonic acid, causing the asidity of the blood to increase. This eventually leads to irregular heartbeat. With his heart beating erratically, Jesus would have known he was at the moment of his death which is when he is able to say, Lord into your hands I commit my spirit. Then he died of cardiac arrest. Since none of his bones could be broken (prophesy) the spear the Roman soldier stabs him with goes through his right lung and into the heart. (Hes already dead) and blood and water comes out. This would have been the appearance of a clear fluid, like water, followed by a large volume of blood, as the eyewitness John described in his Gospal .
