ABSTRACT: Jesus of Nazareth underwent Jewish and Roman trials, was flogged, and was sentenced to death by crucifixion. The scourging produced deep stripelike lacerations and appreciable blood loss, and it probably set the stage for hypovolemic shock as evidenced by the fact that Jesus was too weakened to carry the crossbar (patibulum) to Golgotha. At the site of crucifixion his wrists were nailed to the patibulum, and after the patibulum was lifted onto the upright post, (stipes) his feet were nailed to the stipes. The major pathophysiologic effect of crucifixion was an interference with normal respirations. Accordingly, death resulted primarily...

My dear friend, this Good Friday and Passion Week are you a hider? Are you one who hides from Almighty God in the cloak of demonic darkness (Gen. 3:6-11; John 3:19-21; Eph. 2:1-3)? Are you hiding in your traditions, family, culture, political party, skin color, "good" works, vices, social justice crusades, career, global movements, conservatism, liberalism, marxism, religiousness, abortion rights, pro-life passions, greeds, creeds, violence, gangs, humanitarian institutions, genders, sports, movies, etc., etc.? Dear friend, if so,, what are you hiding in that will keep you from coming to the ETERNAL Light of Almighty God your ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator, who...

The Shroud of Turin is the most studied object in the world – and for good reason. If authentic, this linen cloth would constitute physical evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. Not so fast comes the gut reaction from many Christians, concerned that such a theory skirts dangerously close to venerating a spurious relic. Besides, hasn’t the science concluded this is simply a medieval forgery?But the truth is, there is little consensus on the Shroud’s authenticity. After thousands of hours of research, study and tests, opinion is still divided among both scholars and enthusiasts. And so the intriguing possibility remains...

An absolutely amazing feature in recent critical New Testament thought is the significant alteration that has developed regarding the scholarly attitude concerning [Jesus’ miracles]. Due to the evidential application of historical considerations to the Gospels ... critical scholars virtually across the scholarly spectrum acknowledge that Jesus was a healer and an exorcist. This is not necessarily to answer the questions of what really or exactly happened on those occasions or what was the ultimate cause of the events in the sense of being from God’s hand and so on, but it is granted by scholars today that events at least...

"My Brain is the key that sets me free.""No prison can hold me; no hand or leg irons or steel locks can shackle me. No ropes or chains can keep me from my freedom.""What the eyes sees, the ear hears, and the mind believes.""Never tell the audience how good you are, they will soon find out for themselves.""Never try to fool children, they expect nothing, and therefore see everything.""An old trick well done is far better than a new trick with no effect."More quotes at:https://www.azquotes.com/author/6929-Harry_HoudiniHarry Houdini (March 24, 1874 -- October 31, 1926) Resting place -- Machpelah Cemetery"And although Houdini...

Prominent freemason and occultist predicted 50 years ago a one-world religion led by a ‘Christ’ to comeIt is not until now, in the era of Pope Francis, that we can make sense of Foster Bailey’s prediction that Catholicism — which he considers to be the most backward religion — may lead a ‘Christian religious revival.’A high-ranking freemason, occultist, and co-founder of the Lucifer Publishing Company 50 years ago predicted key features of a coming one-world government, including a “cashless society” and worldwide socialism. But his blueprint for a new world order is unique in its specific predictions about a one-world...

[Catholic Caucus] The Red Guard of TraditionWho controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.—George Orwell, 1984.Tucker Carlson recently interviewed a Chinese woman named Xi Van Fleet. After Mao’s culture revolution, Xi sought and received asylum in the United States in the 1970s. She soon came to love and defend America. This became especially evident when, in 2020, she realized the United States was undergoing a communist revolution, fabricated not upon a conflict of class, but rather that of race. (Fabricated is the operative word in the last sentence.) Although Xi never wanted to be...

Purim and Yom Kippur appear to be complete opposites but the ancient rabbis say they are really two sides of the same coin.>>>Yom Kippur has many Hebrew names, including the pluralized form: Yom HaKippurim. While the word kippurim literally means atonements, if we adjust one vowel and read it as kappurim, then its meaning becomes “like Purim.” This is a clue, says the Zohar, to the future purpose of Yom Kippur when it will become a day not of affliction, but of delight — just like Purim.>>>The ancient rabbis noted that Purim and Yom Kippur are the only holidays about...
