"Funny, I thought my sins were the cause of his death."
Gee. I was taught that too. I guess, given scientists are more trustworthy, and now are even talking about Jesus (a really good sign I might add), I will have to reconsider what I was taught. (tick...tick...)
All done. Cause of death: still my sins. Cause of resurrection? Well, that's an awesome story, but a different thread.
"...scientists now are even talking about Jesus..."
Some of us talked about Him before, we talk about someone we know :) - the interesting thing here is that an Israeli scientist is talking about Him...
I believe that Christ died FOR our sins, not because of or from our sins. He died because he was killed, sacrificed, to atone for our sins. Because He is perfect, his death was the atonement, however it occurred.
All that said, I do find it interesting as to what the MEDICAL cause of death was...
