You still can't make it happen HEADFIRST.
And you can't explain why Acts forgot to mention that he was hanging for a week before describing his guts.
You really have to imagine some pretty bizarro events to make the two accounts non-contradictory. Can't fault you for trying, but it's more than a stretch.
**And you can't explain why Acts forgot to mention that he was hanging for a week before describing his guts.**
Acts 'forgot'? If you want a detailed decription, it's not there. The book of the Acts of the apostles is about 30 years of church founding and history, that an average reader can read through in a couple of hours.
By the way, the head would fall out of the noose upon separation from the body.
Maybe you should also complain that there is no EXACT timetable for how fast the field was puchased.
Maybe, just maybe, the priests chose to buy the field where Judas' body was found.
Yes, many things are left out. The Bible is about Jesus, everyone else is secondary. The exact location is not given. We assume Judas' body was buried there. CSI was still a long ways in the future.
LIkely he did it on the rocky terrain around Calvary. If somebody (prolly a Roman soldier) cut him down, and his feet landed on an elevated rock then his body tumbled forward onto another rock, the results described in the bible would ensue. An ignominious end to be sure.
