How did Jesus die?
A priest – who used to be a doctor – claims he suffered from a shoulder injury that caused a major internal bleed.
Reverend Prof Patrick Pullicino, former consultant neurologist at East Kent Universities Hospital Trust, came to his conclusion based on a study of the Shroud of Turin.
He argued that the image on the shroud shows a man with a dislocated shoulder, pulled so far out of its socket that the right hand stretched four inches lower than the left.
He wrote: ‘Because of this right arm stretching, the right subclavian/axillary artery was also subjected to stretch, as it was one of the only remaining intact structures connecting the body and the right arm.’
He argues that as Jesus was stretched out for crucifixion, the subclavian artery – a pair of major arteries that feeds blood to the head, neck, shoulder, and arms – ruptured.
In the Bible, it says blood flowed out of his side when he was pierced by a spear. However, Pullicino believes this was actually because of the major internal bleed caused by the rupture.
Pullicino said: ‘This paper postulates that over the course of three hours, the subclavian artery became abraded, injured and its wall attenuated until finally the artery ruptured and profuse bleeding ensued.’
Pullicino agrees with other scholars that Jesus’s dislocated arm was most likely the result of it being trapped under the T-shaped cross he was forced to carry.
Is he sure it wasn’t white supremacy or racism or Donald Trump?
This should get him several votes for ‘Nut of the Month’.
Being crucified has very little effect on Jesus. (end sarcasm here)
Yeah, stabbing with a spear through the lungs does absolutely nothing.
No he didn’t. He gave up His Spirit by choice. His legs weren’t even broken. “...not a bone of Him shall be broken....”. When the sword pierced his side, blood and water came out, a sign of severe pulmonary distress. He just died.
I wonder how many autopsies have revealed “dislocated shoulder” as a cause of death.
He was already dead when the spear went into his side. The Doctor says what part of the ordeal was the significant factor based on medical knowledge, title is problematic.
Obviously, Jesus died on the Cross.
He Died for Our Sins, anything after that is immaterial for me however I’m sure the “how” of it makes for a good debate for some.
While is some evidence of the Trump family traveling in time, it is much more likely that at some point there was a Scarlioni fracture which split Trump throughout time.
There is no direct evidence Trump or his ancestor/clones was ever crucified, or even vilified.
Nice to hear the priest was there to fill us in. Sheesh.
If it matters then you didn’t get the message.
The Bible does say that Jesus died sooner than they expected, which is why they didn’t break his legs to speed his death before the coming Saturday sabbath, as is the typical case. There could have been a number of reasons, including the severe scourging he had recently received.
You don’t say! I always thought that he died from being crucified, since crucifixion is a means of execution. But I’m not a professor with a fancy degree, so what do I know?
At least he didn’t say it was from an infected toe that got hurt while stumbling...
LOL!
I wasn’t there, and I’d hesitate to declare which of the tortures resulted in ‘death’.
Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. Luke 23:46 KJV
So did I, and I thought someone else carried the cross for him??? 😀
Fauci and the MSM said it was Probably covid....He was an anti vaxer you know ...../s
How would this guy know? He isn’t a biologist.
But maybe he stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.
