A book that I'd recommend for anybody interested in the subject is A Doctor at Calvary: The Passion Of Our Lord Jesus Christ As Described By A Surgeon. A review of the book states:
Dr. Barbet gives us a heart-rending account of the pain and suffering that Christ undertook on our behalf. In the book, Dr. Barbet begins with the Shroud (Chapter 1), speaks on crucifixion and what was know about this practice (Chapter 2 and 3) and ten launches into the sufferings of Christ based on what history tells us about the practice of crucifixion (Chapters 4 through 7). He then explains what archaeology and the Gospels tells us about the removal from the cross and the burial (Chapters 8 and 9). The last couple of chapters ten touch on a scientifically accurate crucifix (Chapter 10) and Dr. Barbets final thoughts (Chapter 11) followed by a meditation on the Passion of our Lord, Jesus Christ (Chapter 12).Though the book was written in the 1940's, the science is good and widely accepted. Dr. Barbet does a good job of putting things in a layman's context so everyone (not just those with an understanding of human anatomy/physiology) can understand what had taken place. The book s written very formally, but that is really a product of the time and does not detract from the message this book conveys.
After reading this book, I have come to a deeper appreciation of the sufferings of Christ, and I imagine that most people who do read this book will come to a similar conclusion. For anyone wanting to come to a deeper appreciation of the Passion, I would highly recommend this book, and it would handsomely complement any Bible study of the Passion narratives, especially during the Lenten season.
1 GOD of my salvation, hear,
And help me to believe!
Simply do I now draw near,
Thy blessing to receive:
Full of sin, alas! I am,
But to thy wounds for refuge flee;
Friend of sinners, spotless Lamb,
Thy blood was shed for me.
2 Standing now as newly slain,
To thee I lift mine eye!
Balm of all my grief and pain,
Thy grace is always nigh:
Now, as yesterday, the same
Thou art, and wilt for ever be;
Friend of sinners, spotless Lamb,
Thy blood was shed for me.
3 Nothing have I, Lord, to pay,
Nor can thy grace procure,
Empty send me not away,
For I, thou know'st, am poor:
Dust and ashes is my name,
My all is sin and misery;
Friend of sinners, spotless Lamb,
Thy blood was shed for me.
4 No good word, or work, or thought,
Bring I to gain thy grace;
Pardon I accept unbought,
Thy proffer I embrace,
Coming, as at first I came,
To take, and not bestow on thee;
Friend of sinners, spotless Lamb,
Thy blood was shed for me.
5 Saviour, from thy wounded side
I never will depart;
Here will I my spirit hide
When I am pure in heart:
Till my place above I claim,
This only shall be all my plea,
Friend of sinners, spotless Lamb,
Thy blood was shed for me.
--- Charles Wesley

[The crucifixion of God.]
People stepping all over doctrine all the time nowdays and so I beleive we are seeing the growth of the anti Christ no longer Christian one world church of fools and liars who disregard the Doctine of the Scriptures for thier denominational belief system instituted by men and not God.
The Lord Jesus who did no sin was crucified for our sins that we may live by His blood sacrafice if we BELIEVE Him. The body God occupied during the first Advent was the body the romans and jews crucified as God predicted in psalm 22. But the Spirit God never died but left the body of Christ after the 6 hour period of suffering on the cross and the Word of God descended into hell for 3 days to set the souls of all those who died before the ressurection on the 3rd day of the body of Christ unto everlasting life, this body having flesh and bones and being spirtual and physical, the first man to arise unto everlasting life and Jesus now sits with the Father in heaven at HIS right hand and will come again to defend Israel from destruction at the battle of Armageddon when He literally descends from Heaven at His second Advent. Right now we are seeing the stage being set and only those who do not know and believe Biblical Prophecy will once again be caught unawares the same as the first advent.
I wish people would read the scripute especially if they say they are Christians.
"No. Jesus claimed to be equal with God"
No he didn't
"Why callest thou me good?"
"There is none good, save God"
Three days and nights in the grave = He was crucified on a Thursday, not friday. Also, as with the Son, so as with the Father : God was crucified in much the same way by the 24 elders. Thus the crucifiction of Jesus was the final life-lesson of father to son.
