On the Physical Death of Jesus Christ

[agedman]

I am about a third of the way through this (see link) on the Death of Jesus Christ.

It isn't taking it from the Scriptures but is using any resource in order to methodically validate the historical evidence of the death of Jesus Christ.

This appeared in the March 21, 1986 Volume 255, No. 11 of the JAMA (Journal of American Medical Association) and so it is heavy on the medical aspects of the details of the crucifixion.

Now I realize that most professors want information from research to be a near as the last 15 years (some requiring 10 years) or less.

However, here on the BB, perhaps there are those who would benefit from this document.

So, without reviewing it in full, and with understanding that it is NOT based solely upon Scripture, but is in deed a well researched paper of note, I offer it to those who are interested.

Should someone find error, please indicate it in the thread.

This is an interesting bit of research--from the quasi skeptical. Extrabiblical information is seriously corrupted by the depravity of mankind. Thus saith the Lord is the only dependable source of accurate information. My Bible says Jesus' last words were: "IT IS FINISHED." He then gave up the Spirit. Sure sounds like dead--on the tree.

The illustrations are quite graphic. The scourging part is a little short on detail--Jesus' back probably looked more like hamburger.

He bore the penalty our sins and paid the price we could not pay. Propitiation!!! What a Saviour! Mohammed, etal, cannot not do this.

Many professors are like Nicodemus: They have not a clue as to who Jesus might be. See John 3:5 and Mt. 16:16 in context.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

I skimmed through it. Not being a doctor, I can't really comment on it except to say that it's terrible. I see no reason to suppose that it's not reasonably accurate.

I'm about half way through and at this point would agree.

So far, it conforms to all the aspects of the suffering of the crucified.
