Scientific Death of Jesus

THE (SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS
>
>
> At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to the death penalty.
>
> At the time crucifixion was the "worst" death. Only the worst criminals
> condemned to be crucified. Yet it was even more dreadful for Jesus,
> unlike other criminals condemned to death by crucifixion Jesus was to be
> nailed to the cross by His hands and feet.
>
> Each nail was 6 to 8 inches long.
>
> The nails were driven into His wrist. Not into His palms as is commonly
> portrayed. There's a tendon in the wrist that extends to the shoulder.
> The Roman guards knew that when the nails were being hammered into the
> wrist that tendon would tear and break, forcing Jesus to use His back
> muscles to support himself so that He could breath.
>
> Both of His feet were nailed together. Thus He was forced to support
> Himself on the single nail that impaled His feet to the cross. Jesus
> could not support himself with His legs because of the pain so He was
> forced to alternate between arching His back then using his legs just to
> continue to breath. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the suffering, the
> courage.

> Jesus endured this reality for over 3 hours.
>
> Yes, over 3 hours! Can you imagine this kind of suffering? A few minutes
> before He died, Jesus stopped bleeding.
>
> He was simply pouring water from his wounds.
>
> From common images we see wounds to His hands and feet and even the spear
> wound to His side. But do we realize His wounds were actually made in
> his body. A hammer driving large nails through the wrist, the feet
> overlapped and an even large nail hammered through the arches, then a
> Roman guard piercing His side with a spear. But before the nails and
> the spear Jesus was whipped and beaten. The whipping was so severe that
> it tore the flesh from His body. The beating so horrific that His face
> was torn and his beard ripped from His face. The crown of thorns cut
> deeply into His scalp. Most men would not have survived this torture.
>
> He had no more blood to bleed out, only water poured from His wounds.
>
> The human adult body contains about 3.5 litres (just less than a gallon)
> of blood.
>
> Jesus poured all 3.5 litres of his blood; He had three nails hammered
> into his members; a crown of thorns on his head and, beyond that, a
> Roman soldier who stabbed a spear into his chest.
>
> All these without mentioning the humiliation He passed after carrying his
> own cross for almost 2 kilometers, while the crowd spat in his face and
> threw stones (the cross was almost 30 kg of weight, only for its higher
> part, where his hands were nailed).
>
> Jesus had to endure this experience, so that you can have free access to
> God.
>
> So that your sins could be "washed" away. All of them, with no exception!
> Don't ignore this situation. JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOU! For you, who now
> read this e-mail. Do not believe that He only died for others (those who
> go to church or for pastors, bishops, etc).
>
> He died for you! It is easy to pass jokes or foolish photos by e-mail,
> but when it comes to God, sometimes you feel ashamed to forward to others
> because you are worried of what they may think about you.
>
Accept the reality, the truth that JESUS IS THE ONLY SALVATION FOR THE
> WORLD.
>
> God has plans for you, show all your friends what He experienced to save
> you. Now think about this! May God bless your life!
>
> 60 seconds with God...
>
> For the next 60 seconds, set aside what you're doing and take this
> opportunity! Let's see if satan can stop this.
>
> All you have to do is:
>
> 1. Simply pray for the person who sent this message to you: Lord, you
> know the life of _________. I ask You to bless him/her in all things and
> make him/her prosperous. Take care of his/her family, his/her health,
> his/her work and all his/her future plans. Lead him/her not into
> temptation, but deliver him/her from evil. In Jesus' name, amen.
>
> 2.Then, send this message to 10 people..
>
> 3.10 people will pray for you and you will make that many people pray to
> God for other people.
>
> 4. Take a moment to appreciate the power of God in your life, for doing
> what pleases Him.
>
> If you are not ashamed to do this, please, follow Jesus' instructions. He
> said (Matthew 10:32 & 33): "Everyone therefore who acknowledges me before
> others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven; but whosoever
> denies me before others, I also will deny before my Father in heaven".
>
> If you believe, send this message.... But send it only if you believe in
> Christ Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
>
> Yes, I love God. He is my source of life and my saviour. He keeps me
> alive day and night.
>
> Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him "I can do all things through Him
> who strengthens me". Philippians 4:13.
>
> This is the simple proof. If you love God and you believe and trust in
> salvation through Christ Jesus, send this to all those you love.
