We have evidence that Jesus may have been comatose but not dead due to drugs he was given..He seemed dead but he died really quickly. Jesus' leg was NOT Broken.

John 19:31-34 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other. But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.

Water? Did they strike a garden hose when they stabbed him?...lmao

So he is removed from the cross, thought to be dead and placed in the crypt...

John 19:39 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.

"...Nicodemus took Myrrh and Aloes" Myrrh has antiseptic qualities and alloes have healing properties....they are not embalmers....http://www.peacehealth.org/KBASE/cam/hn-2036003.htm

100 lbs is a lot of spice!

If Jesus was given a small amount of poison on the cross he could have been in comatose very quickly. Breathing may have seemed non-existant.

Nicodemus appears at the tomb with healing herbs, not embalming herbs.

Jesus died in the evening of the Friday and was raised on the morning of the Sunday...Where did the three days and nights go?

Matthew 12:40..."for just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."

OOPS!

Matt. 28:1 - "Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave."

So Friday late afternoon till early Sunday morning isn't 3 days and nights...OOPSY! It's 1.5 days!.

There are way too many problems with this story!

To Opinionated2.

You complain that I thank Josephes? Why? It's because it's inconvenient to you. History is like both experience and the scientific method, because all three can cut past the egos of people and their boldly puched philosophies. Why would anyone not support historical finding? Again like everything else you stand against it's because it's inconvenient to you and your philosophies.

To give you better understanding, I will teach you.

Romans 3:9-20 sums up how good mankind is. But instead of saying good things, the section shows that no one has lived up to God's standard, and gives examples of why. It is comparable to Psalms 53:3 that says that all have turned away and shown corruption. That no one is good, not even one.

It's also comparable to Isaiah 64:6, that says that all of us are like an unclean person (diseased, worked with a dead body, or like a woman going through her period). That even our acts of righteousness are like filthy rags.

This is one of the foundations of Christianity. A good hard look at ourselves. Look at us individually. Look at us as a group as the whole world. Both in the present and throughout history. Even our best moments in history are marred with selfish ambition and clashing egos, as well as our greatest victories for justice and governing, at one point or another need to be striped back again because of the systemic corruption that has grown into it. That doesn't include our pure and clean ambitions to set up programs and institutions to take care of the weak, the poor, or any other kind of need, sometime in history or in today's world where those very institutions are taking advantage of and abusing the very populations they are set up to look after.

This is our world, and this is us. It's an ugly truth, but it is a foundation that needs to be heard to understand why we need to be saved. Because our best just isn't good enough, and we can't save ourselves.

However, our state of being is not a reflection of God's love. The other foundation of Christianity is that God comes to redeem us and to clean us. As Jesus healed the lepers and the woman who could not stop her cycle (it wasn't monthly it was continually), God can wash us and make us clean. John 3:16. God so loved the world he gave His only Son.

To Bush Bunny.

Easter is a celibration of Resus's reserection. Not His death. Jesus died for our sins, but He rose again. Not just in spirit, but bodily as well. (Or do spirits now have the ability to eat and drink. Jesus did both with his disciples). From there Jesus's bones won't be found. Because He is risen. (Not that we can identify one person's bones from another's. CSI investigation doesn't work on a historic level. Archeology goes to digs to find the truth, but can't find the details of who's who when they find a body).

Jesus sacrificed Himself, and then even conquored death. He then went to join God in the heavenly realms, but again he did not leave a body behind. Easter is a celibration of Jesus rising, and the hope and promise that comes with that.

Yes we can. Have you not heard of King Richard III of England? I know you yanks don't pay much attention to the rest of the world, but I'd have thought that that particular bit of news would've made it across the pond.

NotNowNever...Are from outer space? You can thank anyone you like for anything you like because you are so easily mislead and diverted your thanks mean nothing.

No wonder you fail Jesus with every post you make.

THE TRUTH is the foundation stone. Try it some time!

The history is important on everything BUT using history to misrepresent the facts isn't the truth.

See you have abandoned Jesus for your evidence as Pharisees always do.

You go to Paul the Oppressor and Pharisee for your explanation bypassing Jesus as usual. You do remember Jesus don't you?

He's the one the Catholics still have on the cross even though he was taken down centuries ago...lol

Why would you go to Isaiah and mention women's periods in your rubbish explanation. Calling a woman "ünclean" is an obscenity at any time of the month! Wake UP!

How can a righteous act be like a filthy rag if you do it with a pure heart and no hidden agendas. Oh that's right you Christians do everything with a hidden agenda so you wouldn't understand that. Isaiah and most of your prophets (lol) were manic depressives.

You waffle on about Christianity looking at itself when it has dliberately covered up crimes against children since it began...Can you really be this blind? You church goers know about these crimes but do you do the righteous thing and leave...Of course not...You support the criminality over and over again by attending.

Your explanations are so flawed, so self-righteous and self-forgiving that you fail Jesus continually. Remember Jesus yet?

So Jesus is only a son again in John 3:16 I thought believers promoted him to God. So what is Jesus God or the Son of God?

You are right you believers need to be saved from the religious babble you think is rational.

Don't give up your day job for preaching...Learn the truth first and then start your lecturing!

Your religion is full of self-righteous hypocrites and Pharisees!
